Cell membranes contain a large variety of lipid types and are crowded with proteins,
endowing them with the plasticity needed to fulfill their key roles in cell functioning. The …

Biological membranes exhibit diversity in their shapes and complexity in chemical
compositions that are linked to many cellular functions. These two central features of …

Biological membranes are tricky to investigate. They are complex in terms of molecular
composition and structure, functional over a wide range of time scales, and characterized by …

Computational 'microscopy'refers to the use of computational resources to simulate the
dynamics of a molecular system. Tuned to cell membranes, this computational …

The architecture of biological membranes is tightly coupled to the localization, organization,
and function of membrane proteins. The organelle-specific distribution of lipids allows for the …

For simulations of membranes and membrane proteins, the generation of the lipid bilayer is
a critical step in the setup of the system. Membranes comprising multiple components pose …

Cell membranes are complex multicomponent systems, which are highly heterogeneous in
the lipid distribution and composition. To date, most molecular simulations have focussed on …

Biological processes rely on a myriad of molecules with diverse interactions. Molecular
simulation has become an invaluable tool for studying biological processes, but the …

The physical properties of lipid bilayers are sensitive to the specific type and composition of
the lipids that make up the many different types of cell membranes. Studying model bilayers …

We present a comparative all-atom molecular dynamics simulation study of 18
biomembrane systems with lipid compositions corresponding to eukaryotic, bacterial, and …
