New insights into lipid monolayers from coarse-grained simulation techniques.
The use of molecular dynamics simulations in structural biology and biophysics has come of age. Indeed, computational modeling is going beyond classical static tasks such as structure refinement for x-ray and NMR spectroscopy, or docking of small molecules against rigid protein surfaces in search of new drugs. Nowadays, whole ribosomes are subjects of serious studies represented by numerical se...
متن کاملBDNF-induced recruitment of TrkB receptor into neuronal lipid rafts
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays an important role in synaptic plasticity but the underlying signaling mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we show that BDNF rapidly recruits full-length TrkB (TrkB-FL) receptor into cholesterol-rich lipid rafts from nonraft regions of neuronal plasma membranes. Translocation of TrkB-FL was blocked by Trk inhibitors, suggesting a role of TrkB tyrosine ...
متن کاملDifferential Interaction of Antimicrobial Peptides with Lipid Structures Studied by Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Simulations.
In this work; we investigated the differential interaction of amphiphilic antimicrobial peptides with 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) lipid structures by means of extensive molecular dynamics simulations. By using a coarse-grained (CG) model within the MARTINI force field; we simulated the peptide-lipid system from three different initial configurations: (a) peptides in ...

متن کاملEffect of simulation temperature on phospholipid bilayer–vesicle transition studied by coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations
Computer simulations of the spontaneous self-assembly of phospholipid vesicles (liposomes) have found a bicelle intermediate which curls up into a vesicle. Although coarse-grained (or intermediate-resolution) molecular dynamics simulation studies have been conducted at intermediate (323 K) to high (360 K) temperatures, it is unclear if there exists an ‘optimal’ temperature that accelerates the ...
