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 …

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 …

Cell membranes protect and compartmentalise cells and their organelles. The semi‐
permeable nature of these membranes controls the exchange of solutes across their …

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 …

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

With recent advances in X-ray crystallography of membrane proteins promising many new
high-resolution structures, molecular dynamics simulations will become increasingly …

Biological cells and their organelles are protected by ultra thin membranes. These
membranes accomplish a broad variety of important tasks like separating the cell content …

Molecular dynamics simulations of biological membranes have come of age. Simulations of
pure lipid bilayers are extending our understanding of both optimal simulation procedures …

Fully atomic simulation strategies are infeasible for the study of many processes of interest to
membrane biology, biophysics and biochemistry. We review various coarse-grained …
