A generic model for lipid monolayers, bilayers, and membranes
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...

Computational Models for the Formation of Protocell Structures
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...

Simple models for biomembrane structure and dynamics
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...

A Surface Phase Field Model for Two-Phase Biological Membranes
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...

Cell Modeling Using Agent-Based Formalisms
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...
