Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising next generation antibiotics that hold great
potential for combating bacterial resistance. AMPs can be both bacteriostatic and …

Considerable progress has been recently achieved in the multiscale modeling of complex
biological processes. Multiscale models have now investigated the structure and dynamics …

Since the classical molecular dynamics simulator LAMMPS was released as an open source
code in 2004, it has become a widely-used tool for particle-based modeling of materials at …

The structural parameters of fluid phase bilayers composed of phosphatidylcholines with
fully saturated, mixed, and branched fatty acid chains, at several temperatures, have been …

We present an improved and extended version of our coarse grained lipid model. The new
version, coined the MARTINI force field, is parametrized in a systematic way, based on the …

Exploring recent developments in the field, Coarse-Graining of Condensed Phase and
Biomolecular Systems examines systematic ways of constructing coarse-grained …

Constructing higher-order vesicle assemblies has discipline-spanning potential from
responsive soft-matter materials to artificial cell networks in synthetic biology. This potential …

X-ray diffuse scattering was measured from oriented stacks and unilamellar vesicles of
dioleoylphosphatidylcholine lipid bilayers to obtain the temperature dependence of the …

We have determined the molecular structures of commonly used phosphatidylglycerols
(PGs) in the commonly accepted biologically relevant fluid phase. This was done by …

Electrostatic forces are amongst the most versatile interactions to mediate the assembly of
nanostructured materials. Depending on experimental conditions, these forces can be long …
