Molecular dynamics simulations of phospholipid bilayers.
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations at 37 degrees C have been performed on three phospholipid bilayer systems composed of the lipids DLPE, DOPE, and DOPC. The model used included 24 explicit lipid molecules and explicit waters of solvation in the polar head group regions, together with constant-pressure periodic boundary conditions in three dimensions. Using this model, a MD simulation samples ...
متن کاملIsomerization dynamics of photochromic spiropyran molecular switches in phospholipid bilayers.
Transient absorption spectroscopy was used to investigate the dynamics of the photochromic indolinobenzospiropyran reaction in toluene solution and in phosphatidylcholine bilayers (1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC), 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC)). After excitation with UV light, colorless (R/S)-2-(3',3'-d...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of mixed acidic/zwitterionic phospholipid bilayers.
Anionic lipids are key components in the cell membranes. Many cell-regulatory and signaling mechanisms depend upon a complicated interplay between them and membrane-bound proteins. Phospholipid bilayers are commonly used as model systems in experimental or theoretical studies to gain insight into the structure and dynamics of biological membranes. We report here 200-ns-long MD simulations of pu...
متن کاملDisturb or stabilize? A molecular dynamics study of the effects of resorcinolic lipids on phospholipid bilayers.
Resorcinolic lipids, or resorcinols, are commonly found in plant membranes. They consist of a substituted benzene ring forming the hydrophilic lipid head, attached to an alkyl chain forming the hydrophobic tail. Experimental results show alternative effects of resorcinols on lipid membranes. Depending on whether they are added to lipid solutions before or after the formation of the liposomes, t...
متن کاملMultistep binding of divalent cations to phospholipid bilayers: a molecular dynamics study.
Step by step: The sequential coordination of calcium ions (yellow) to four lipid carbonyl oxygen atoms in neutral zwitterionic phospholipid bilayers has been studied by molecular dynamics simulations.
