1. 1. Formation of biological membranes

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Molekyl- och kondenserade materiens fysik

   Author : Rebecka Lexelius; [2020]
   Keywords : Molecular Dynamics; Lipids; DPPC; Biophysics;

   Abstract : The amphiphilic property of phospholipids drives the spontaneous formation of various molecular aggregates in response to their surrounding environment. In this study the concentration of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) lipids in water was varied in order to investigate the naturally occurring arrangements over time, and specifically the propensity to form monolayers on the water-vacuum interface.

3. 2. Formation of Monolayered Phospholipids using Molecular Dynamics

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Molekyl- och kondenserade materiens fysik

   Author : Rebecka Lexelius; [2018]
   Keywords : phospholipids; lipids; DPPC; monolayer; molecular dynamics; MD; molecular dynamics simulation; GROMACS; biological membrane; lipid concentration; biophysics;

   Abstract : The very fundamental properties of biological membranes can be understood by studying their formation. This sets a good foundation for research related to how the membranes interact with organic molecules and ions; something of great value in the quest of explaining transport phenomena through cell membranes.
