Pure FENE Bond Potential for Soft Matter and Biological Simulations: Theory, HOOMD-blue Implementation, and Applications to Polymer, Colloidal, and Membrane Systems
Anirban Polley
The finitely extensible nonlinear elastic (FENE) potential is widely used as a bonded interaction in coarse-grained simulations of polymers, soft matter, colloids, and biological s…
Concentration-Dependent Membrane Destabilization in DPPC Bilayers: Distinct Insertion Mechanisms and Stress Redistribution by Chloroform and Alkanols
Anirban Polley
How do solute concentration and molecular chemistry govern the transition from membrane saturation to destabilization? We address this using microsecond-scale molecular dynamics si…
Chain-Length-Dependent Partitioning of 1-Alkanols in Raft-Like Lipid Membranes
Anirban Polley
Although 1-alkanols are widely used as anesthetics and membrane-active agents, the molecular basis of their chain-length-dependent cutoff behavior remains unclear. Here, we perform…
The understanding of the penetration and clusterization of 1-alkanol in bilayer membrane: An open outlook based on atomistic molecular dynamics simulation
Anirban Polley
1-alkanols are well known to have anesthetic and penetration properties, though the mode of operation remains enigmatic. We perform extensive atomistic molecular dynamics simulatio…
Clustering of lipids driven by integrin
Tapas Singha, Anirban Polley, Mustansir Barma
Integrin is an important transmembrane receptor protein which remodels the actin network and anchors the cell membrane towards the extracellular matrix via mechanochemical pathways…
Partitioning of 1-alkanols in composite raft-like lipid membrane
Anirban Polley
Though 1-alkanols are well known to have anesthetic properties, the mode of operation remains enigmatic. We perform extensive atomistic molecular dynamics simulation to study the p…
Common anesthetic molecules prefer to partition in liquid disorder phase domain in a composite multicomponent membrane
Anirban Polley
Despite a vast clinical application of anesthetics, the molecular level of understanding of general anesthesia is far from our reach. Using atomistic molecular dynamics simulation,…
Phase segregation of passive advective particles in an active medium
Amit Das, Anirban Polley, Madan Rao
Localized contractile configurations or asters spontaneously appear and disappear as emergent structures in the collective stochastic dynamics of active polar actomyosin filaments.…
Bilayer registry in a multicomponent asymmetric membrane : dependence on lipid composition and chain length
Anirban Polley, Satyajit Mayor, Madan Rao
A question of considerable interest to cell membrane biology is whether phase segregated domains across an asymmetric bilayer are strongly correlated with each other and whether ph…
Bending elasticity of macromolecules: analytic predictions from the wormlike chain model
Anirban Polley, Joseph Samuel, Supurna Sinha
We present a study of the bend angle distribution of semiflexible polymers of short and intermediate lengths within the wormlike chain model. This enables us to calculate the elast…
Atomistic simulations of a multicomponent asymmetric lipid bilayer
Anirban Polley, Satyavani Vemparala, Madan Rao
The cell membrane is inherently asymmetric and heterogeneous in its composition, a feature that is crucial for its function. Using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, the phy…
