The Martini model, a coarse-grained force field for biomolecular simulations, has found a
broad range of applications since its release a decade ago. Based on a building block …

Diverse membrane fusion reactions in biology involve close contact between two lipid
bilayers, followed by the local distortion of the individual bilayers and reformation into a …

Many biological membranes are asymmetric and exhibit complex lipid composition,
comprising hundreds of distinct chemical species. Identifying the biological function and …

Human cornea is covered by an aqueous tear film, and the outermost layer of the tear film is
coated by lipids. This so-called tear film lipid layer (TFLL) reduces surface tension of the tear …

Membrane fusion is an essential process for the survival of eukaryotes and the entry of
enveloped viruses into host cells. A proper understanding of the mechanism of membrane …

In this review we describe the state-of-the-art of computer simulations studies of lipid
membranes. We focus on collective lipid–lipid and lipid–protein interactions that trigger …

Recent work has demonstrated that charged gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) protected by an
amphiphilic organic monolayer can spontaneously insert into the core of lipid bilayers to …

Simulations of biomolecules have enormous potential to inform our understanding of biology
but require extremely demanding calculations. For over 20 years, the Folding@ home …

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) are two primary components
of the eukaryotic membrane and play essential roles in the maintenance of membrane …

Self‐assembly of lipid‐based liquid crystalline (LLC) nanoparticles is a formulation art
arising from the hydrophilic–lipophilic qualities and the geometric packing of amphiphilic …
