The Martini model, a coarse‐grained force field for molecular dynamics simulations, has
been around for nearly two decades. Originally developed for lipid‐based systems by the …

The fundamental roles that peptides and proteins play in today's biology makes it almost
indisputable that peptides were key players in the origin of life. Insofar as it is appropriate to …

Cell membranes contain a large variety of lipid types and are crowded with proteins,
endowing them with the plasticity needed to fulfill their key roles in cell functioning. The …

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are embedded in phospholipids that strongly
influence drug-stimulated signaling. Anionic lipids are particularly important for GPCR …

Cancer cells frequently alter their lipids to grow and adapt to their environment,–. Despite
the critical functions of lipid metabolism in membrane physiology, signalling and energy …

The detailed understanding of the binding of small molecules to proteins is the key for the
development of novel drugs or to increase the acceptance of substrates by enzymes …

Lipids, phospholipids and cholesterol in particular, are the predominant components of the
plasma membrane, wherein multidrug efflux transporters of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) …

Cholesterol plays a crucial role in biomembranes by regulating various properties, such as
fluidity, rigidity, permeability, and organization of lipid bilayers. The latest version of the …
