Mechanisms of DNA Hybridization: Transition Path Analysis of a Simulation-Informed Markov Model
Raymond Jin, Lutz Maibaum
Complementary DNA strands in solution reliably hybridize to form stable duplexes. We study the kinetics of the hybridization process and the mechanisms by which two initially isola…
Phase Diagrams of Multicomponent Lipid Vesicles: Effects of Spherical Topology and Finite Size
Yongtian Luo, Lutz Maibaum
We study the phase behavior of multicomponent lipid bilayer vesicles that can exhibit intriguing morphological patterns and lateral phase separation. We use a modified Landau-Ginzb…
Spatially Resolving the Condensing Effect of Cholesterol in Lipid Bilayers
Felix Leeb, Lutz Maibaum
We study the effect of cholesterol on the structure of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) phospholipid bilayers. Using extensive molecular dynamics computer simulations at atomi…
Relating the structure factors of two-dimensional materials in planar and spherical geometries
Yongtian Luo, Lutz Maibaum
Scattering structure factors provide essential insight into material properties and are routinely obtained in experiments, computer simulations, and theoretical analyses. Different…
DNA Base Pair Mismatches Induce Structural Changes and Alter the Free Energy Landscape of Base Flip
Addie Kingsland, Lutz Maibaum
Double-stranded DNA may contain mismatched base pairs beyond the Watson-Crick pairs guanine-cytosine and adenine-thymine. Such mismatches bear adverse consequences for human health…
Identifying the Onset of Phase Separation in Quaternary Lipid Bilayer Systems from Coarse-Grained Simulations
Shushan He, Lutz Maibaum
Understanding the (de)mixing behavior of multicomponent lipid bilayers is an important step towards unraveling the nature of spatial composition heterogeneities in cellular membran…
