We describe a simple coarse-grained model which is suited to study lipid layers and their phase transitions. Lipids are modeled by short semiflexible chains of beads with a solvo...
There have been various attempts to simulate the self-assembly process of lipid aggregates by computers. However, due to the computationally complex nature of the problem, previou...
Simulation of biomembranes over length and time scales relevant to cellular biology is not currently feasible with molecular dynamics including full atomic detail. Barring an unfo...
We study vesicles formed by lipid bilayers that are governed by an elastic bending energy and on which the lipids laterally separate forming two different phases. The energy laden...
The systems biology community is building increasingly complex models and simulations of cells and other biological entities. This community is beginning to look at alternatives t...
