Determination of Biomembrane Bending Moduli in Fully Atomistic Simulations
The bilayer bending modulus (Kc) is one of the most important physical constants characterizing lipid membranes, but precisely measuring it is a challenge, both experimentally and computationally. Experimental measurements on chemically identical bilayers often differ depending upon the techniques employed, and robust simulation results have previously been limited to coarse-grained models (at ...
متن کاملA multiscale approach to the elastic moduli of biomembrane networks.
We develop equilibrium fluctuation formulae for the isothermal elastic moduli of discrete biomembrane models at different scales. We account for the coupling of large stretching and bending strains of triangulated network models endowed with harmonic and dihedral angle potentials, on the basis of the discrete-continuum approach presented in Schmidt and Fraternali (J Mech Phys Solids 60:172-180,...
متن کاملBending moduli of polymeric surfactant interfaces
2014 Our recent theory of the free energy and conformations of end-grafted polymer « brushes » is extended to polymers attached to curved surfaces. Several important systems, e.g., layers of polymeric surfactants or of strongly segregated diblock copolymers, can be well described as brushes. By expanding in powers of the curvature the free energy of a brush on a curved surface, the mean and Gau...
متن کاملParallel Atomistic Simulations*
Algorithms developed to enable the use of atornistic molecular simulation methods with parallel computers are reviewed. Methods appropriate for bonded as well as non-bonded (and charged) interactions are included. While strategies for obtaining parallel molecukir simulations have been developed for the full variety of atomistic simulation methods, molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo have receive...
متن کاملCharge Transport and Phase Behavior of Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquid Crystals from Fully Atomistic Simulations
Ionic liquid crystals occupy an intriguing middle ground between room-temperature ionic liquids and mesostructured liquid crystals. Here, we examine a non-polarizable, fully atomistic model of the 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate family using molecular dynamics in the constant pressure-constant temperature ensemble. These materials exhibit a distinct "smectic" liquid phase, characterized by ...
