Impact of Cholesterol on Voids in Phospholipid Membranes
Emma Falck, Michael Patra, Mikko Karttunen +2
Free volume pockets or voids are important to many biological processes in cell membranes. Free volume fluctuations are a prerequisite for diffusion of lipids and other macromolecu…
Coarse-Grained Model for Phospholipid/Cholesterol Bilayer
Teemu Murtola, Emma Falck, Michael Patra +2
We construct a coarse-grained (CG) model for dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC)/cholesterol bilayers and apply it to large-scale simulation studies of lipid membranes. Our CG mo…
Lessons of Slicing Membranes: Interplay of Packing, Free Area, and Lateral Diffusion in Phospholipid/Cholesterol Bilayers
Emma Falck, Michael Patra, Mikko Karttunen +2
We employ 100 ns molecular dynamics simulations to study the influence of cholesterol on structural and dynamic properties of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers in the…
Lipid bilayers driven to a wrong lane in molecular dynamics simulations by truncation of long-range electrostatic interactions
Michael Patra, Mikko Karttunen, Marja T. Hyvonen +2
This paper has been withdrawn.
Influence of hydrodynamics on many-particle diffusion in 2D colloidal suspensions
E. Falck, J. M. Lahtinen, I. Vattulainen +1
We study many-particle diffusion in 2D colloidal suspensions with full hydrodynamic interactions through a novel mesoscopic simulation technique. We focus on the behaviour of the e…
Dynamics and Scaling of 2D Polymers in a Dilute Solution
E. Falck, O. Punkkinen, I. Vattulainen +1
The breakdown of dynamical scaling for a dilute polymer solution in 2D has been suggested by Shannon and Choy [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 79}, 1455 (1997)]. However, we show here both n…
