Alcohol Interactions with Lipid Bilayers.

We investigate the structural changes to lipid membrane that ensue from the addition of aliphatic alcohols with various alkyl tail lengths. Small angle neutron diffraction from flat lipid bilayers that are hydrated through water vapor has been employed to eliminate possible artefacts of the membrane curvature and the alcohol's membrane-water partitioning. We have observed clear changes to membr...

Simulation of fusion-mediated nanoemulsion interactions with model lipid bilayers.

Perfluorocarbon-based nanoemulsion particles have become promising platforms for the delivery of therapeutic and diagnostic agents to specific target cells in a non-invasive manner. A "contact-facilitated" delivery mechanism has been proposed wherein the emulsifying phospholipid monolayer on the nanoemulsion surface contacts and forms a lipid complex with the outer monolayer of target cell plas...

Molecular Insight into the Mutual Interactions of Two Transmembrane Domains of Human Glycine Receptor (TM23-GlyR), with the Lipid Bilayers

Appearing as a computational microscope, MD simulation can ‘zoom in’ to atomic resolution to assess detailed interactions of a membrane protein with its surrounding lipids, which play important roles in the stability and function of such proteins. This study has employed the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, to determine the effect of added DMPC or DMTAP molecules on the structure of D...

Interaction of cationic lipid/DNA complexes with model membranes as determined by neutron reflectivity.

Transfection of cells by DNA for the purposes of gene therapy can be effectively engineered through the use of cationic lipid/DNA "lipoplexes", although the transfection efficiency of these complexes is sensitive to the neutral "helper" lipid included. Here, neutron reflectivity has been used to investigate the role of the helper lipid present during the interaction of these lipoplexes with mod...

A continuum model of lipid bilayers

We study a one-dimensional continuum model for lipid bilayers. The system consists of water and lipid molecules; lipid molecules are represented by two ‘beads’, a head bead and a tail bead, connected by a rigid rod. We derive a simplified model for such a system, in which we only take into account the effects of entropy and hydrophilic/hydrophobic interactions. We show that for this simple mode...
