Theory of the photocount statistics for multi-mode multi-frequency radiation fields

Michael Patra

We derive on the level of quantum optics expressions for the uncertainty of the photocount in a multi-mode multi-frequency setup. The result depends on the quantum correlations of…

Lateral-Pressure Profiles in Cholesterol-DPPC Bilayers

Michael Patra

By means of atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, we study cholesterol-DPPC (dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine) bilayers of different composition, from pure DPPC bilayers to a 1:…

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…

Under the influence of alcohol: The effect of ethanol and methanol on lipid bilayers

Michael Patra, Emppu Salonen, Emma Terama +4

Extensive microscopic molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to study the effects of short-chain alcohols, methanol and ethanol, on two different fully hydrated lipid b…

Structural Effects of Small Molecules on Phospholipid Bilayers Investigated by Molecular Simulations

Bryan W. Lee, Roland Faller, Amadeu K. Sum +3

We summarize and compare recent Molecular Dynamics simulations on the interactions of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers in the liquid crystalline phase with a number o…

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…
