Electrostatic Forces on Charged Surfaces of Bilayer Lipid Membranes
Abstract. Simulating protein-membrane interactions is an important and dynamic area of research. A proper definition of electrostatic forces on membrane surfaces is necessary for developing electromechanical models of protein-membrane interactions. Here, we model the bilayer membrane as a continuum with general continuous distributions of lipids charges on membrane surfaces. A new electrostatic...
متن کاملElectrostatic interactions of asymmetrically charged membranes
We predict the nature (attractive or repulsive) and range (exponentially screened or long-range power law) of the electrostatic interactions of oppositely charged, planar plates as a function of the salt concentration and surface charge densities (whose absolute magnitudes are not necessarily equal). An analytical expression for the crossover between attractive and repulsive pressure is obtaine...
متن کاملNonelectrolyte diffusion across lipid bilayer systems
The permeability coefficients of a homologous series of amides from formamide through valeramide have been measured in spherical bilayers prepared by the method described by Jung. They do not depend directly on the water:ether partition coefficient which increases regularly with chain length. Instead there is a minimum at acetamide. This has been ascribed to the effect of steric hindrance on di...
متن کاملNonelectrolyte Diffusion across Lipid Bilayer Systems
Nonelectrolyte diffusion across the red cell membrane provides informat ion about membrane physical characteristics (1), which has been interpreted in the light of comparisons with model lipid bilayer systems such as liposomes (2). The multilamellar structure of the liposomes makes it difficult to obtain absolute permeability coefficients f rom the initial rate of swelling, the usual measure of...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of charged and neutral lipid bilayers: treatment of electrostatic interactions.
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations complement experimental methods in studies of the structure and dynamics of lipid bilayers. The choice of algorithms employed in this computational method represents a trade-off between the accuracy and real calculation time. The largest portion of the simulation time is devoted to calculation of long-range electrostatic interactions. To speed-up evaluation o...
