Ion− membrane interactions are essential to the regulation of cell functions. While numerous
molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been carried out to study the effects of ions on …

Previous molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of ion-lipid interactions have focused on
pure phospholipid bilayers. Many functional microdomains in membranes have a complex …

Ion mixtures are prevalent in both cytosol and the exterior of a plasma membrane with
variable compositions and concentrations. Although abundant MD simulations have been …

Cell membranes, which consist of a lipid bilayer, play a critical role in cellular bioactivities.
The lipid bilayer interacts dynamically with water as well as ions. Membrane fluidity is lesser …

In this study, we performed all-atom long-timescale molecular dynamics simulations of
phospholipid bilayers incorporating three different proportions of negatively charged lipids in …

To gain a better understanding of how monovalent salt under physiological conditions
affects plasma membranes, we have performed 200 ns atomic-scale molecular dynamics …

Interactions of monovalent salts with lipid membranes are explored with molecular dynamics
(MD) simulations. The simulations included the monovalent ions Na+ and K+, for their …

To better understand bilayer property dependency on lipid electrostatics and headgroup
size, we use atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to study negatively charged and …

It is generally accepted that ions interact directly with lipids in biological membranes.
Decades of biophysical studies on pure lipid bilayer systems have shown that only certain …

Revealing the ion distributions on a charged lipid membrane in aqueous solution under the
influence of long-range interactions is essential for understanding the origin of the stability of …
