The molecular structure of a phosphatidylserine bilayer determined by scattering and molecular dynamics simulations.
Phosphatidylserine (PS) lipids play essential roles in biological processes, including enzyme activation and apoptosis. We report on the molecular structure and atomic scale interactions of a fluid bilayer composed of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylserine (POPS). A scattering density profile model, aided by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, was developed to jointly refine diff...
متن کاملLipid bilayer structure determined by the simultaneous analysis of neutron and X-ray scattering data.
Quantitative structures were obtained for the fully hydrated fluid phases of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers by simultaneously analyzing x-ray and neutron scattering data. The neutron data for DOPC included two solvent contrasts, 50% and 100% D(2)O. For DPPC, additional contrast data were obtained with deuterated analogs DPPC_d62, DPPC_d13, ...

آزمون انطباقی رایانه ای (cat) روشی نوین برای سنجش سطح علمی دانش آموزان می باشد. در حقیقت آزمون های رایانه ای با سرعت بالایی به سمت و سوی جایگزین عملی برای آزمون های کاغذی می روند (کینگزبری، هاوسر، 1993). مقاله حاضر به دنبال آزمون انطباقی رایانه ای برای ترجمه می باشد. بدین منظور دو پرسشنامه مشتمل بر 55 تست ترجمه میان 102 آزمودنی و 10 مدرس زبان انگلیسی پخش گردید. پرسشنامه اول میان 102 دانشجوی س...
A molecular dynamics investigation of lipid bilayer perturbation by PIP2.
Phosphoinositides like phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) are negatively charged lipids that play a pivotal role in membrane trafficking, signal transduction, and protein anchoring. We have designed a force field for the PIP(2) headgroup using quantum mechanical methods and characterized its properties inside a lipid bilayer using molecular dynamics simulations. Macroscopic properti...
متن کاملDynamical and Structural Properties of Cytarabine in a Lipid Bilayer : A Molecular Dynamics Study
Cytarabin is a chemotherapy agent that has found use in the treatment of cancers of white blood cells such as acute myeloid leukemia. Molecular dynamics simulation was carried out to investigate the interaction between the anticancer drug cytarabine and a DOPC/Chol lipid bilayer. MD simulations allowed one to estimate the position, orientation, and dynamics of cytarabine molecules inside the me...
