Study of cholesterol in tethered membrane using coarse grained molecular dynamics simulations

This work presents a study of cholesterol's effects on archaebacterial cell membranes using coarse grain molecular dynamic simulations. As a major component in biological membranes, cholesterol is closely related to the dynamics of lipids and biomechanical properties of the membrane. A coarse g...
