Molecular dynamics of cerebroside-cholesterol and sphingomyelin-cholesterol interactions: Implications for myelin membrane structure.
Cholesterol, cerebroside and sphingomyelin are major components of myelin [l] . The study of the molecular dynamics of cerebroside (galactosyl derivatives of N-acyl sphingosine) and sphingomyelin (phosphorylcholine derivatives of N-acyl sphingosine) interactions with cholesterol should thus help our understanding of myelin membrane structure. Some preliminary studies of sphingomyelin-cholestero...
متن کاملEffects of Aluminum Incorporation in Tobermorite Structure on Chloride Diffusion: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study
In this paper, the effects of different aluminum to silicon ratios in silicate chains of calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) are evaluated on the diffusion coefficient of chloride ions by molecular dynamics method. Tobermorite is a crystalline phase that is used for studying C-S-H properties in nano scale, because of its analogous chemical composition to C-S-H. Aluminum incorporation in C-S-H and...
متن کاملInvestigation of Melting by Molecular Dynamics Simulation
The melting of a 64 ion microcrystal of KCI was studied by means of a molecular dynamics computer simulation. We used a central pair interaction with an inverse power law repulsion. The thermodynamics, kinetic and structural properties such as melting temperature, latent heat, mean square displacement, diffusion constant, radial distribution function and bond angle distribution are calculated. ...
متن کاملSphingomyelin/phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol interactions studied by imaging mass spectrometry.
Label-free imaging mass spectrometry is utilized the first time to study lipid-lipid interactions in a model membrane system. Ternary lipid mixtures of cholesterol (CH), sphingomyelin (SM), and phosphatidylcholine (PC) on supported Langmuir-Blodgett films are investigated as a mimic of the cellular membrane. The unique chemical specificity and imaging capability allow identification and localiz...
متن کاملAtomic dynamics of alumina melt: A molecular dynamics simulation study
The atomic dynamics of Al2O3 melt are studied by molecular dynamics simulation. The particle interactions are described by an advanced ionic interaction model that includes polarization effects and ionic shape deformations. The model has been shown to reproduce accurately the static structure factors S(Q) from neutron and x-ray diffraction and the dynamic structure factor S(Q,ω) from inelastic ...
