The compositional asymmetry of biological membranes has attracted significant attention
over the last decade. Harboring more differences from symmetric membranes than …

It is well known that the lipid distribution in the bilayer leaflets of mammalian plasma
membranes (PMs) is not symmetric. Despite this, model membrane studies have largely …

Technological advances in the last decade have enabled the study of ever more complex
and physiologically relevant model membranes to help dispel the mystery surrounding the …

During the past several years, there have been a number of advances in the computational
and theoretical modeling of lipid bilayer structural and dynamical properties. Molecular …

Biological membranes are composed of lipid bilayers that are often asymmetric with regards
to the lipid composition and/or aqueous solvent they separate. Studying lipid asymmetry …

The study of lipid structure and phase behavior at the nanoscale is of utmost importance due
to implications in understanding the role of the lipids in biochemical membrane processes …

In vitro reconstitutions of lipid membranes have proven to be an indispensable tool to
rationalize their molecular complexity and to understand their role in countless cellular …

The asymmetric insertion of amphiphiles into biological membranes compromises the
balance between the inner and outer monolayers. As a result, area expansion of the …

In recent years, a massive increase has been observed in the number of published articles
describing accurate and reliable molecular dynamics simulations of lipid bilayers. This is …

Plasma membranes utilize free energy to maintain highly asymmetric, non-equilibrium
distributions of lipids and proteins between their two leaflets. In this review we discuss recent …
