Dual effect of cholesterol on interfacial water dynamics in lipid membranes: Interplay between membrane packing and hydration
Kokoro Shikata, Kento Kasahara, Nozomi Morishita Watanabe +3
Water contained within biological membranes plays a critical role in maintaining the separation between intracellular and extracellular environments and facilitating biochemical pr…
Characterizing the embedded states of a fluorescent probe within a lipid bilayer using molecular dynamics simulations
Ryo Okabe, Natsuumi Ito, Yuya Matsubara +4
The physicochemical properties of lipid bilayers (membranes) are closely associated with various cellular functions and are often evaluated using absorption and fluorescence spectr…
A methodology of quantifying membrane permeability based on returning probability theory and molecular dynamics simulation
Yuya Matsubara, Ryo Okabe, Ren Masayama +4
We propose a theoretical approach to estimate the permeability coefficient of substrates (permeants) for crossing membranes from donor (D) phase to acceptor (A) phase by means of m…
Influence of cholesterol on hydrogen-bond dynamics of water molecules in lipid-bilayer systems at varying temperatures
Kokoro Shikata, Kento Kasahara, Nozomi Morishita Watanabe +3
Cholesterol (Chol) plays a crucial role in shaping the intricate physicochemical attributes of biomembranes, exerting considerable influence on water molecules proximal to the memb…
