Structure of the DMPC lipid bilayer ripple phase.
High resolution structure is presented for the ripple (Pβ') phase of the phospholipid dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine. Low angle X-ray scattering from oriented samples yielded 57 orders, more than twice as many as recorded previously. The determined electron density map has a sawtooth profile similar to the result from lower resolution data, but the features are sharper allowing better estimates...
متن کاملModification of the CHARMM force field for DMPC lipid bilayer
The CHARMM force field for DMPC lipids was modified in order to improve agreement with experiment for a number of important properties of hydrated lipid bilayer. The modification consists in introduction of a scaling factor 0.83 for 1-4 electrostatic interactions (between atoms separated by three covalent bonds), which provides correct transgauche ratio in the alkane tails, and recalculation of...
متن کاملDiffusion of water and selected atoms in DMPC lipid bilayer membranes.
Molecular dynamics simulations have been used to determine the diffusion of water molecules as a function of their position in a fully hydrated freestanding 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (DMPC) bilayer membrane at 303 K and 1 atm. The diffusion rate of water in a ∼10 Å thick layer just outside the membrane surface is reduced on average by a factor of ∼2 relative to bulk. For wa...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulation of interaction of Melittin and DMPC bilayer: Temperature dependence
The interaction between proteins and membranes has an important role in biological pro-cesses.We have calculated energies of interaction between Melittin and DMPC bilayer in differenttemperatures. We have used the CHARMM software for MD simulation under the canonical (N,V, E) ensemble at different temperatures. The computations have shown that water moleculeshave more penetration into the bilay...
متن کاملFree energy profile of the interaction between a monomer or a dimer of protegrin-1 in a specific binding orientation and a model lipid bilayer.
The free energies of adsorption of the monomer or dimer of the cationic beta-hairpin antimicrobial peptide protegrin-1 (PG1) in a specific binding orientation on a lipid bilayer are determined using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and Poisson-Boltzmann calculations. The bilayer is composed of anionic palmitoyl-oleoyl-phosphatidylglycerol (POPG) and palmitoyl-oleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine ...
