Molecular dynamics simulation studies of transmembrane transport of chemical components in Chinese herbs and the function of platycodin D in a biological membrane

Molecular dynamics simulation studies of transmembrane transport of chemical components in Chinese herbs and the function of platycodin D in a biological membrane

Objective: To study the transmembrane transport of chemical components of Chinese herbs and to explore the function of platycodin D (PD) on biomembranes. Methods: Interaction between PD and the dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayer was reproduced by molecular dynamics simulation with the Mar...
