Membrane Packing Problems: A short Review on computational Membrane Modeling Methods and Tools
The use of model membranes is currently part of the daily workflow for many biochemical and biophysical disciplines. These membranes are used to analyze the behavior of small substances, to simulate transport processes, to study the structure of macromolecules or for illustrative purposes. But, how can these membrane structures be generated? This mini review discusses a number of ways to obtain...
متن کاملA comprehensive review on modeling of nanocomposite materials and structures
This work presents a historical review of the researches procured by various scientists and engineers dealing with the nanocomposite materials and continuous systems manufactured from such materials. Nanocomposites are advanced type of well-known composite materials which have been reinforced with nanosize reinforcing fibers and/or particles. Such materials can be better suit for the industrial...
متن کاملStructures of membrane proteins
In reviewing the structures of membrane proteins determined up to the end of 2009, we present in words and pictures the most informative examples from each family. We group the structures together according to their function and architecture to provide an overview of the major principles and variations on the most common themes. The first structures, determined 20 years ago, were those of natur...
متن کاملComputational tools for protein modeling.
Protein modeling is playing a more and more important role in protein and peptide sciences due to improvements in modeling methods, advances in computer technology, and the huge amount of biological data becoming available. Modeling tools can often predict the structure and shed some light on the function and its underlying mechanism. They can also provide insight to design experiments and sugg...
متن کاملComputational studies on membrane proteins and membrane-drug interactions
The cell membrane is a gateway to the cell and immersion point for membrane proteins and thus is of interest for pharmacology and structural biology. This thesis aims to study its interaction with water, small molecules, polymers and proteins through molecular dynamics simulation and statistical analysis. In the first part of the thesis, I have performed a statistical analysis of membrane prote...
