Membrane domains known as rafts are rich in cholesterol and sphingolipids, and are
thought to be thicker than the surrounding membrane. If so, monolayers should elastically …

Structural perturbations of fluid lipid bilayers can be caused by various processes, such as
the insertion of transmembrane inclusions, protein and peptide adsorption, the formation of …

We study membrane-protein interactions and membrane-mediated protein-protein
interactions by Monte Carlo simulations of a generic coarse-grained model for lipid bilayers …

We present a mechanism for a generic, powerful force of assembly and mobility for
transmembrane proteins in lipid bilayers. This force is a pre-transition (or pre-melting) effect …

The excess water bilayer thickness, dl, 0, and molecular area, A0, of lipid amphiphiles in the
fluid lamellar phases of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) and …

The present study is an application of an approach recently developed by the authors for
describing the structure of the hydrocarbon chains of lipid-bilayer membranes (LBMs) …

In this article we review the current status of our understanding of membrane mediated
interactions from theory and experiment. Phenomenological mean field and molecular …

Via dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), we simulate the self-assembly of end-
functionalized, amphiphilic nanotubes and lipids in a hydrophilic solvent. Each nanotube …

Protein association in lipid membranes is a complex process with thermodynamics directed
by a multitude of different factors. Amino-acid sequence is a molecular parameter that affects …

We present a theoretical treatment and simulation algorithm for the dynamics of Helfrich
elastic membrane surfaces in the presence of general harmonic perturbations and …
