Lipid peroxidation plays an important role in cell membrane damage. We investigated the
effect of lipid peroxidation on the properties of 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-…

Recent toxicology studies suggest that nanosized aggregates of fullerene molecules can
enter cells and alter their functions, and also cross the blood–brain barrier. However, the …

The hydrophobic effect is considered the main driving force for protein folding and plays an
important role in the stability of those biomolecules. Cold denaturation, where the native state …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have become popular in materials science, biochemistry,
biophysics and several other fields. Improvements in computational resources, in quality …

The influence of different oxidized lipids on lipid bilayers was investigated with 16 individual
1 μs atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Binary mixtures of lipid bilayers of 1-…

Beta cyclodextrin (βCD) is well-known as a potent drug carrier improving drug solubility,
stability, and bioavailability. The water layer adjacent to the membrane surface and lipophilic …

Figure 1| Cumulative fiux of water molecules as a function of time for two different MD
simulations of the system shown in the inset. The inset shows a carbon nanotube connecting two …

Carbon nanoparticles (CNP) have significant impact on the Pulmonary Surfactant (PS), the
first biological barrier in the respiratory system. CNPs – abundant in the environment due to …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation has become a common technique to study biological
systems. Transport of small molecules through carbon nanotubes and membrane proteins …

Concentrated natural latex was used to produce a rubber foam that is porous, elastic and
well ventilated. The mechanical properties can be either soft or firm, depending on the …
