Computational analysis of local membrane properties
In the field of biomolecular simulations, dynamics of phospholipid membranes is of special interest. A number of proteins, including channels, transporters, receptors and short peptides are embedded in lipid bilayers and tightly interact with phospholipids. While the experimental measurements report on the spatial and/or temporal average membrane properties, simulation results are not restricte...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell
A full three-dimensional, single phase computational fluid dynamics model of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) with both the gas distribution flow channels and the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) has been developed. A single set of conservation equations which are valid for the flow channels, gas-diffusion electrodes, catalyst layers, and the membrane region are developed and numer...
متن کاملComputational prediction of kink properties of helices in membrane proteins
We have combined molecular dynamics simulations and fold identification procedures to investigate the structure of 696 kinked and 120 unkinked transmembrane (TM) helices in the PDBTM database. Our main aim of this study is to understand the formation of helical kinks by simulating their quasi-equilibrium heating processes, which might be relevant to the prediction of their structural features. ...
متن کاملImpact of Measuring Devices and Data Analysis on the Determination of Gas Membrane Properties
The time-lag method, using a gas permeation experiment, is currently the most popular method for determining the membrane properties: diffusivity coefcient and permeability coefcient, and from which the solubility coefcient can be calculated. In this investigation, the impact of systematic, random (noise), resolution and extrapolation errors associated with gas permeatio...
متن کاملDesign of the optimal magnetic field in application of functionalized CNT-based drug delivery toward the cell membrane: Computational Analysis
Recently, Carbon Nano (CN) structures are widely used in medical applications, especially the detection and treatment of cancer disease. Among various types of CNs, Carbone Nano Tubes (CNTs) attracted many researchers' attention to consider them toward clinical application. Regarding the intrinsic structure of CNTs, they can be used widely in drug delivery applications. Functionalized CNTs and ...
