Nearly all molecular dynamics simulations of bacterial membranes simplify the lipid bilayer by composing it of only one or two lipids. Previous attempts of developing a model E. coli membrane have used only 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (POPE) and (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoglycerol) POPG lipids. However, an important constituent of bacterial membranes are...

The success of many activities of modern civilization crucially depends on careful planning. Some activities should be carried out during a certain period of the year. For example: When is the right time of the year to sow, when is the right time to plow? It is thus no surprise that calendars are found in literally every ancient civilization.
