The membrane is composed of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. The lipid bilayer contains a mixture of different lipid classes, including neutral lipids, phospholipids, and glycosphingolipids.

Here, we used all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to explore the conformational dynamics of M2 channels in lipid bilayers revealing that the AH is dynamic, quickly breaking the fourfold ...

Cell membranes are dynamically regulated composites of a lipid bilayer matrix and integral and peripherally adsorbed proteins. Just one lipid species is sufficient to form a barrier to uncontrolled ...

The attraction, attachment, insertion and orientation of the peptide in the lipid bilayer can be determined ... peptide insertion and membrane permeability. Recognition that antimicrobial peptides ...

coli small-conductance mechanosensitive channel (MscS) in nanodiscs (ND). They reveal a novel membrane-anchoring fold that plays a significant role in channel activation and establish a new location ...
