Effect of Cyclosporin-A on the Order and Dynamics of DPPC model Membrane Systems
Laser Raman spectroscopy has been employed to investigate the effects of cyclosporine-A on the order and dynamics of DPPC (Dipalmytoyl Phosphatidyl Choline) midel membrane system. It is shown that the addition of small amount of cyclosporine-A to a DPPC dispersion disturb the system and changes the order/disorder parameter of the model membrane.
متن کاملMolecular Insight into the Mutual Interactions of Two Transmembrane Domains of Human Glycine Receptor (TM23-GlyR), with the Lipid Bilayers
Appearing as a computational microscope, MD simulation can ‘zoom in’ to atomic resolution to assess detailed interactions of a membrane protein with its surrounding lipids, which play important roles in the stability and function of such proteins. This study has employed the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, to determine the effect of added DMPC or DMTAP molecules on the structure of D...
متن کاملMolecular 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 کاملIon transport across transmembrane pores.
To study the pore-mediated transport of ionic species across a lipid membrane, a series of molecular dynamics simulations have been performed of a dipalmitoyl-phosphatidyl-choline bilayer containing a preformed water pore in the presence of sodium and chloride ions. It is found that the stability of the transient water pores is greatly reduced in the presence of the ions. Specifically, the bind...
متن کاملMolecular dynamic studies of transportan interacting with a DPPC lipid bilayer.
Translocation of peptides through cellular membranes is a fundamental problem in developing antimicrobial peptides and in drug delivery. There is a class of peptides, known as cell-penetrating peptides, that are able to penetrate membranes without disrupting them. They can carry pharmacological compounds, thus a promising strategy for drug delivery. The physical mechanisms that facilitate trans...
