Membrane fusion is a key process in all living organisms that contributes to a variety of
biological processes including viral infection, cell fertilization, as well as intracellular …

Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that covers a vast and diverse array of devices
and machines derived from engineering, physics, materials science, chemistry and biology …

A new approach is presented for obtaining coarse-grained (CG) force fields from fully
atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) trajectories. The method is demonstrated by applying it …

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

A methodology is described to systematically derive coarse-grained (CG) force fields for
molecular liquids from the underlying atomistic-scale forces. The coarse graining of an …

Background Electroporation is a common method to introduce foreign molecules into cells,
but its molecular basis is poorly understood. Here I investigate the mechanism of pore …

This article presents a topical review of coarse grain simulation techniques. First, we
motivate these techniques with illustrative examples from biology and materials science …

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 …

Maintaining the integrity of their protective plasma membrane is a primary requirement of
cells. Accordingly, cellular events that breach the membrane are tightly regulated. Artificial …
