Peroxidised phospholipid bilayers: insight from Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics simulations Soft Matter, 12, 263-271 (2016) Yachong Guo, Vladimir Baulin and Fabrice Thalmann An original coarse-grained model for peroxidised phospholipids is presented, based on the MARTINI lipid force field. This model results from a combination of thermodynamic modelling and structural information on the area per lipid, which have been made available recently. The resulting coarse-grained lipid molecules form stable bilayers, [...]...

Mechanisms of Vesicle Spreading on Surfaces: Coarse-Grained Simulations Marc Fuhrmans, Marcus Müller Langmuir, 29 (13), pp 4335–4349 (2013) Exposition of unilamellar vesicles to attractive surfaces is a frequently used way to create supported lipid bilayers. Although this approach is known to produce continuous supported bilayer coatings, the mechanism of their formation and its dependence on factors like surface interaction and roughness or membrane tension as [...]...
