Molecular dynamics simulation of interaction of Melittin and DMPC bilayer: Temperature dependence
The interaction between proteins and membranes has an important role in biological pro-cesses.We have calculated energies of interaction between Melittin and DMPC bilayer in differenttemperatures. We have used the CHARMM software for MD simulation under the canonical (N,V, E) ensemble at different temperatures. The computations have shown that water moleculeshave more penetration into the bilay...
متن کاملPhase diagram of water from computer simulation.
The phase diagram of water as obtained from computer simulations is presented for the first time for two of the most popular models of water, TIP4P and SPC/E. This Letter shows that the prediction of the phase diagram is an extremely stringent test for any water potential function, and that it may be useful in developing improved potentials. The TIP4P model provides a qualitatively correct desc...
متن کاملPhase diagram of silica from computer simulation.
We evaluate the phase diagram of the "BKS" potential [Phys. Rev. Lett. 64, 1955 (1990)]], a model of silica widely used in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We conduct MD simulations of the liquid, and three crystals ( beta -quartz, coesite, and stishovite) over wide ranges of temperature and density, and evaluate the total Gibbs free energy of each phase. The phase boundaries are determined...
متن کاملDynamic molecular structure and phase diagram of DPPC-cholesterol binary mixtures: a 2D-ELDOR study.
This paper is an application of 2D electron-electron double resonance (2D-ELDOR) with the "full Sc- method" to study model membranes. We obtain and confirm the phase diagram of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerophosphatidylcholine (DPPC)-cholesterol binary mixtures versus temperature and provide quantitative descriptions for its dynamic molecular structure using 2D-ELDOR at the Ku band. The spectra fro...
متن کاملEffect of tetracaine on DMPC and DMPC+cholesterol biomembrane models: liposomes and monolayers.
Different types of lipid bilayers/monolayers have been used to simulate the cellular membranes in the investigation of the interactions between drugs and cells. However, to our knowledge, very few studies focused on the influence of the chosen membrane model upon the obtained results. The main objective of this work is to understand how do the nature and immobilization state of the biomembrane ...
