With the rapid development of computer power and wide availability of modelling software
computer simulations of realistic models of lipid membranes, including their interactions with …

All living cells are surrounded by plasma membranes that separate the cell interior from the
extracellular environment and are responsible for the selective permeability of cells. 1 The …

Understanding interactions of calcium with lipid membranes at the molecular level is of great
importance in light of their involvement in calcium signaling, association of proteins with …

Alkali (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+) and halide (F−, Cl−, Br−, and I−) ions play an important
role in many biological phenomena, roles that range from stabilization of biomolecular …

Lipid structures affect lipid oxidation, causing differences in types and contents of volatiles
and nonvolatiles in various foods. In this study, the oxidation differences of monoacylglycerol …

Biological supramolecular assemblies, such as phospholipid bilayer membranes, have
been used to demonstrate signal processing via short-term synaptic plasticity (STP) in the …

The permeability of cell membranes can be transiently increased following the application of
external electric fields. Theoretical approaches such as molecular modeling provide a …

To gain a better understanding of how ethanol affects biological membranes, we have
performed a series of atomic-scale molecular dynamics simulations of phospholipid …

Electroporation or electropermeabilization is a technique that enables transient increase in
the cell membrane permeability by exposing cells to pulsed electric field. However, the …

Current bottlenecks in the large-scale commercial use of many ionic liquids (ILs) include
their high costs, low biodegradability, and often unknown toxicities. As a proactive effort to …
