Solvent-free coarse-grained lipid model for large-scale simulations.
A coarse-grained molecular model, which consists of a spherical particle and an orientation vector, is proposed to simulate lipid membrane on a large length scale. The solvent is implicitly represented by an effective attractive interaction between particles. A bilayer structure is formed by orientation-dependent (tilt and bending) potentials. In this model, the membrane properties (bending rig...
متن کاملReintroducing explicit solvent to a solvent-free coarse-grained model.
A unique coarse-grained modeling scheme that combines a systematic, solvent-free multiscale coarse-graining algorithm for a complex macromolecule with an existing coarse-grained solvent model is proposed. We show that this procedure efficiently and reliably describes the interactions for complex macromolecules, using the specific example of dendrimers binding phenanthrenes in water. The experim...
متن کاملSolvent-Free, Highly Coarse-Grained Models for Charged Lipid Systems
We present a methodology to develop coarse-grained lipid models such that electrostatic interactions between the coarse-grained sites can be derived accurately from an all-atom molecular dynamics trajectory and expressed as an effective pairwise electrostatic potential with appropriate screening functions. The reference nonbonded forces from the all-atom trajectory are decomposed into separate ...
متن کاملCoarse Grained Model for Semiquantitative Lipid Simulations
This paper describes the parametrization of a new coarse grained (CG) model for lipid and surfactant systems. Reduction of the number of degrees of freedom together with the use of short range potentials makes it computationally very efficient. Compared to atomistic models a gain of 3-4 orders of magnitude can be achieved. Micrometer length scales or millisecond time scales are therefore within...
متن کاملA Systematically Coarse-Grained Solvent-Free Model for Quantitative Phospholipid Bilayer Simulations
We present an implicit solvent coarse-grained (CG) model for quantitative simulations of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) bilayers. The absence of explicit solvent enables membrane simulations on large length and time scales at moderate computational expense. Despite improved computational efficiency, the model preserves chemical specificity and quantitative accuracy. The...
