Computational Investigation of the Effect of Lipid Membranes on Ion Permeation in Gramicidin A

Computational Investigation of the Effect of Lipid Membranes on Ion Permeation in Gramicidin A

Membrane proteins are embedded in a lipid bilayer and interact with the lipid molecules in subtle ways. This can be studied experimentally by examining the effect of different lipid bilayers on the function of membrane proteins. Understanding the causes of the functional effects of lipids is difficu...
