Viscous regularization and r-adaptive remeshing for finite element analysis of lipid membrane mechanics

, 2007
As two-dimensional fluid shells, lipid bilayer membranes resist bending and stretching but are unable to sustain shear stresses. This property gives membranes the ability to adopt dramatic shape changes. In this paper, a finite element model is developed

Tuning ubiquinone position in biomimetic monolayer membranes [PDF]

, 2017
Artificial lipid bilayers have been extensively studied as models that mimic natural membranes (biomimetic membranes). Several attempts of biomimetic membranes inserting ubiquinone (UQ) have been performed to enlighten which the position of UQ in the ...

Determination of Elastic Parameters of Lipid Membranes with Molecular Dynamics: A Review of Approaches and Theoretical Aspects

Membranes, 2022
Lipid membranes are abundant in living organisms, where they constitute a surrounding shell for cells and their organelles. There are many circumstances in which the deformations of lipid membranes are involved in living cells: fusion and fission ...

Formation of adhesion domains in stressed and confined membranes

, 2015
The adhesion bonds connecting a lipid bilayer to an underlying surface may undergo a condensation transition resulting from an interplay between a short range attractive potential between them, and a long range fluctuation-induced potential of mean force.

Phase behavior of two-component lipid membranes: theory and experiments

, 2012
The structure of the ripple phase of phospholipid membranes remains poorly understood in spite of a large number of theoretical studies, with many experimentally established structural features of this phase unaccounted for.

The Effect of Tethers on Artificial Cell Membranes: A Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Tethered bilayer lipid membranes (tBLMs) provide a stable platform for modeling the dynamics and order of biological membranes where the tethers mimic the cytoskeletal supports present in biological cell membranes.

Interactions of Novel Phosphonium Dye with Lipid Bilayers: A Molecular Dynamics Study

East European Journal of Physics, 2022
In the present work the 100-ns molecular dynamics simulations (MD) were performed in the CHARMM36m force field using the GROMACS package to estimate the bilayer location and mechanisms of the interaction between the novel phosphonium dye TDV and the ...

Interaction of hydrophobic polymers with model lipid bilayers

Scientific Reports, 2017
The interaction of nanoscale synthetic materials with cell membranes is one of the key steps determining nanomaterials’ toxicity. Here we use molecular simulations, with atomistic and coarse-grained resolution, to investigate the interaction of three ...
