Kavli Affiliate: Gerald W. Feigenson | Summary:The presence and the properties of lipid bilayer nanometer-scale domains might be important for understanding the membranes of living cells. We used molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate perturbations of a small patch of fluid-phase DPPC bilayer upon incorporation of fluorescent indocarbocyanine lipid probes commonly used to study membranes […]
