Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation of binary charged lipid membranes: Phase separation and morphological dynamics
Hiroaki Ito, Yuji Higuchi, Naofumi Shimokawa
Biomembranes, which are mainly composed of neutral and charged lipids, exhibit a large variety of functional structures and dynamics. Here, we report a coarse-grained molecular dyn…
Nano-domain formation in charged membranes: Beyond Debye-Huckel approximation
Ryuichi Okamoto, Naofumi Shimokawa, Shigeyuki Komura
We investigate the microphase separation in a membrane composed of charged lipid, by taking into account explicitly the electrostatic potential and the ion densities in the surroun…
Phase diagrams and ordering in charged membranes: Binary mixtures of charged and neutral lipids
Naofumi Shimokawa, Hiroki Himeno, Tsutomu Hamada +3
We propose a model describing the phase behavior of two-component membranes consisting of binary mixtures of electrically charged and neutral lipids. We take into account the struc…
