A Molecular Dynamics Study of the Self-Assembly of Human Skin Lipids
This thesis details the development and testing of coarse-grained models for the key lipids found in the outmost layer of human skin, the straum corneum. Specifically, the development and optimization of coarse-grained models for free fatty acids, cholesterol, and water that can be used in molecular...
