Molecular dynamics simulations of lipid bilayers in aqueous systems reveal how an applied electric field stabilizes the reorganization of the water–membrane interface into water-filled, membrane-spanning, conductive pores ...

The cell membrane is one of the most important structures of life. Understanding its functioning is essential for several human knowledge areas, mainly how it controls the efflux of substances between the cytoplasm and the ...

Aimed to better understand the molecular mechanisms of its interactions with cell membranes, human erythrocyte and molecular models of the red cell membrane were utilized. The latter consisted of bilayers of dimyristoylp ...

Using Molecular Dynamics simulations and Quantum Mechanical calculations, we study the behavior of molecules with biophysical and pharmacological interest in solution and in phospholipid bilayer.

To investigate the effects of the uncharged bupivacaine (BVC) on the properties of model membranes of 1-palmitoyl- 2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (POPC), we have performed a series of molecular dynamics simulations. ...

Study of phospholipid artificial membranes on solid substrates has become a relevant way to gain insight into the physical behaviour of cell membranes. In this work, porous silicon substrates (pSi) were made using a ...

Study of artificial phospholipid membranes (PMs) on plane substrates has become relevant to contribute in the field of Bionanotechnology. In this work, we analyse the temperature dependence of Youngs modulus (YM) of several ...
