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…

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…

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Lipid Bilayers: Major Artifacts due to Truncating Electrostatic Interactions
M. Patra, M. Karttunen, M. Hyvonen +3
We study the influence of truncating the electrostatic interactions in a fully hydrated pure dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayer through 20 ns molecular dynamics simulati…
