چکیده
Adsorption of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) at cellular membranes is the first and necessary step for their subsequent translocation across into cytosol. It has been experimentally shown that...

Molecular dynamics simulations of phospholipid bilayers.
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations at 37 degrees C have been performed on three phospholipid bilayer systems composed of the lipids DLPE, DOPE, and DOPC. The model used included 24 explicit lipid molecules and explicit waters of solvation in the polar head group regions, together with constant-pressure periodic boundary conditions in three dimensions. Using this model, a MD simulation samples ...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of mixed acidic/zwitterionic phospholipid bilayers.
Anionic lipids are key components in the cell membranes. Many cell-regulatory and signaling mechanisms depend upon a complicated interplay between them and membrane-bound proteins. Phospholipid bilayers are commonly used as model systems in experimental or theoretical studies to gain insight into the structure and dynamics of biological membranes. We report here 200-ns-long MD simulations of pu...
متن کاملWhy do ultrasoft repulsive particles cluster and crystallize? Analytical results from density-functional theory.
We demonstrate the accuracy of the hypernetted chain closure and of the mean-field approximation for the calculation of the fluid-state properties of systems interacting by means of bounded and positive pair potentials with oscillating Fourier transforms. Subsequently, we prove the validity of a bilinear, random-phase density functional for arbitrary inhomogeneous phases of the same systems. On...
متن کاملUniversal Grammar and Chaos/Complexity Theory: Where Do They Meet And Where Do They Cross?
Abstract The present study begins by sketching "Chaos/Complexity Theory" (C/CT) and its applica-tion to the nature of language and language acquisition. Then, the theory of "Universal Grammar" (UG) is explicated with an eye to C/CT. Firstly, it is revealed that CCT may or may not be allied with a theory of language acquisition that takes UG as the initial state of language acquisition for ...
متن کاملInteraction potentials from periodic density-functional theory calculations: molecular-dynamics simulations of Au clusters deposited on the TiN (001) surface.
Molecular-dynamics simulations of gold particles deposited on a TiN (001) surface have been accounted for through classical pair potentials describing the atom force field. The interaction between Ti-N, Ti-Ti, N-N, Au-Au, Au-Ti, and Au-N pairs was estimated by following a procedure in which the interaction energy between two sets of atoms is estimated from density-functional calculations perfor...
