We review the use of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation as a drug design tool in the
context of the role that the lipid membrane can play in drug action, ie, the interaction …

Myelin is a modified cell membrane that forms a multilayer sheath around the axon. It retains
the main characteristics of biological membranes, such as lipid bilayer, but differs from them …

Hybrid membranes assembled from biological lipids and synthetic polymers are a promising
scaffold for the reconstitution and utilization of membrane proteins. Recent observations …

Passive water penetration across the cell membrane by osmotic diffusion is essential for the
homeostasis of cell volume, in addition to the protein-assisted active transportation of water …

Though liposome-based drugs are in clinical use, the mechanism of cell internalization of
liposomes is yet an object of controversy. The present experimental investigation, carried out …

Lipid oxidation has significant effects on lipid bilayer properties; these effects can be
expected to extend to interactions between the lipid bilayer and integral membrane proteins …

The lipid composition impacts directly on the structure and function of the cytoplasmic as
well as organelle membranes. Depending on the type of membrane, specific lipids are …

Lipids are important targets of the photosensitized oxidation reactions, forming important
signaling molecules, disorganizing and permeabilizing membranes, and consequently …

Lipid-porphyrin conjugates are considered nowadays as promising building blocks for the
conception of drug delivery systems with multifunctional properties such as photothermal …
