Molecular 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 کاملStructure 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 کاملCholesterol inhibits the lytic activity of melittin in erythrocytes.
Although cell lysis by the hemolytic peptide, melittin, has been extensively studied, the role of specific lipids of the erythrocyte membrane on melittin-induced hemolysis remains unexplored. In this report, we have explored the modulatory role of cholesterol on the hemolytic activity of melittin by specifically depleting cholesterol from rat erythrocytes using methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MbetaCD...
