Solvent-free coarse-grained lipid model for large-scale simulations.
A coarse-grained molecular model, which consists of a spherical particle and an orientation vector, is proposed to simulate lipid membrane on a large length scale. The solvent is implicitly represented by an effective attractive interaction between particles. A bilayer structure is formed by orientation-dependent (tilt and bending) potentials. In this model, the membrane properties (bending rig...
متن کاملCoarse-grained molecular simulations of allosteric cooperativity.
Interactions between a protein and a ligand are often accompanied by a redistribution of the population of thermally accessible conformations. This dynamic response of the protein's functional energy landscape enables a protein to modulate binding affinities and control binding sensitivity to ligand concentration. In this paper, we investigate the structural origins of binding affinity and allo...
متن کاملCoarse-grained simulations of membranes under tension.
We investigate the properties of membranes under tension by Monte Carlo simulations of a generic coarse-grained model for lipid bilayers. We give a comprising overview of the behavior of several membrane characteristics, such as the area per lipid, the monolayer overlap, the nematic order, and pressure profiles. Both the low-temperature regime, where the membranes are in a gel L(beta(')) phase,...
متن کاملCoarse-grained protein molecular dynamics simulations.
A limiting factor in biological science is the time-scale gap between experimental and computational trajectories. At this point, all-atom explicit solvent molecular dynamics (MD) are clearly too expensive to explore long-range protein motions and extract accurate thermodynamics of proteins in isolated or multimeric forms. To reach the appropriate time scale, we must then resort to coarse grain...
متن کاملSimplified Models for Coarse-Grained Hemodynamics Simulations
Human blood can be approximated as a dense suspension of red blood cells in plasma. Here, we present two models we recently developed to investigate blood flow on different scales: in the first part of the paper we concentrate on describing individual cells or model systems such as vesicles with high resolution in order to understand the underlying fundamental properties of bulk hemodynamics. H...
