Systematic implicit solvent coarse-graining of bilayer membranes: lipid and phase transferability of the force field.

We study the lipid and phase transferability of our recently developed systematically coarse-grained solvent-free membrane model. The force field was explicitly parameterized to describe a fluid 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine (POPC) bilayer at 310 K with correct structure and area per lipid, while gaining at least three orders of magnitude in computational efficiency (see Wang and Des...

Solvent-free coarse-grained lipid model for large-scale simulations.

A coarse-grained molecular model, which consists of a spherical particle and an orientation vector, is proposed to simulate lipid membrane on a large length scale. The solvent is implicitly represented by an effective attractive interaction between particles. A bilayer structure is formed by orientation-dependent (tilt and bending) potentials. In this model, the membrane properties (bending rig...

Multiscale coarse-graining of ionic liquids.

A recently developed multiscale coarse-graining (MS-CG) approach for obtaining coarse-grained force fields from fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulation is applied to the challenging case of the EMIM+NO3- ionic liquid. The force-matching in the MS-CG methodology is accomplished with an explicit separation of bonded and nonbonded forces. While the nonbonded forces are adopted from this forc...

Wavelets as basis functions to represent the coarse-graining potential in multiscale coarse graining approach

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t In this paper, we apply Multiresolution Analysis (MRA) to develop sparse but accurate representations for the Multiscale Coarse-Graining (MSCG) approximation to the many-body potential of mean force. We rigorously framed the MSCG method into MRA so that all the instruments of this theory become available together with a multitude of new basis functions, nam...

Coarse-grain model for lipid bilayer self-assembly and dynamics: multiparticle collision description of the solvent.

A mesoscopic coarse-grain model for computationally efficient simulations of biomembranes is presented. It combines molecular dynamics simulations for the lipids, modeled as elastic chains of beads, with multiparticle collision dynamics for the solvent. Self-assembly of a membrane from a uniform mixture of lipids is observed. Simulations at different temperatures demonstrate that it reproduces ...
