Molecular dynamics simulation study of lipid membranes using coarse-grained models

In this work we use coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to investigate how lipid composition affects the phase transition of phospholipid bilayers. We consider a fully hydrated membrane consisting of saturated 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and cholesterol or unsaturate...
