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 …

Without any exaggeration, cholesterol is one of the most important lipid species in eukaryotic
cells. Its effects on cellular membranes and functions range from purely mechanistic to …

An all-atomistic force field (FF) has been developed for fully saturated phospholipids. The
parametrization has been largely based on high-level ab initio calculations in order to keep …

Existing texts on the statistical mechanics of liquids treat only spherical molecules. However,
nearly all fluids of practical interest are composed of non-spherical molecules that are often …

Biological membranes are versatile in composition and host intriguing molecular processes.
In order to be able to study these systems, an accurate model Hamiltonian or force field (FF) …

Exploring recent developments in the field, Coarse-Graining of Condensed Phase and
Biomolecular Systems examines systematic ways of constructing coarse-grained …

Signaling through the T cell receptor (TCR) controls adaptive immune responses. Antigen
binding to TCRαβ transmits signals through the plasma membrane to induce …

Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylglycerol (PG) are the main lipid
components of the inner bacterial membrane. A computer model for such a membrane was …

Order parameters from deuterium NMR are often used to validate or calibrate molecular
dynamics simulations. This paper gives a short overview of the literature in which …

Investigation of lipid lateral mobility in biological membranes and their artificial models
provides information on membrane dynamics and structure; methods based on optical …
