Supporting Information for Anomalous surface diffusion of protons on lipid membranes

چکیده
In addition to the time-dependence of the msd, also the self-part of the van Hove correlation function Gs(r, t) is an interesting measure to characterize anomalous diffusion. Here, Gs(r, t) is the probability that a particle has moved within a time span t a distance r. The Gs(r, t) for a proton on a surface (figure S1) shows that the surface displacement exhibits long-tailed behavior with respect to a normal distribution, indicating anomalous surface diffusion.

Anomalous surface diffusion of protons on lipid membranes.
The cellular energy machinery depends on the presence and properties of protons at or in the vicinity of lipid membranes. To asses the energetics and mobility of a proton near a membrane, we simulated an excess proton near a solvated DMPC bilayer at 323 K, using a recently developed method to include the Grotthuss proton shuttling mechanism in classical molecular dynamics simulations. We obtain...
متن کاملResolving the kinetics of lipid, protein and peptide diffusion in membranes.
Recent developments in the understanding of molecular diffusion phenomena in membranes are reviewed. Both model bilayers and biological membranes are considered in respect of lateral diffusion, rotational diffusion and transverse diffusion (flip-flop). For model systems, particular attention is paid to recent data obtained using surface-specific techniques such as sum frequency generation vibra...
متن کاملAnomalous Dynamics of a Lipid Recognition Protein on a Membrane Surface
Pleckstrin homology (PH) domains are lipid-binding modules present in peripheral membrane proteins which interact with phosphatidyl-inositol phosphates (PIPs) in cell membranes. We use multiscale molecular dynamics simulations to characterize the localization and anomalous dynamics of the DAPP1 PH domain on the surface of a PIP-containing lipid bilayer. Both translational and rotational diffusi...

1. Introduction The structure and dynamics of biological membranes are the base for understanding some main functions of living cells. Since a biomembrane is a very complicated system for research by physical methods the development of an adequate model is a very important aspect of this problem. Oriented lipid bilayers are conventionally accepted to be one of the simplest models that describe ...
متن کاملAnomalous and normal diffusion of proteins and lipids in crowded lipid membranes.
Lateral diffusion plays a crucial role in numerous processes that take place in cell membranes, yet it is quite poorly understood in native membranes characterized by, e.g., domain formation and large concentration of proteins. In this article, we use atomistic and coarse-grained simulations to consider how packing of membranes and crowding with proteins affect the lateral dynamics of lipids an...
