Molecular permeation through lipid membranes is a fundamental biological process that is
important for small neutral molecules and drug molecules. Precise characterization of free …

Future nanoscale soft matter design will be guided to a large extent by the teachings of
amphiphile (lipid or surfactant) self-assembly. Ordered nanostructured lyotropic liquid …

Although the general mechanisms of lipid oxidation are known, the chemical steps through
which photosensitizers and light permeabilize lipid membranes are still poorly understood …

This is a review. Non-electrolytic compounds typically cross cell membranes by passive
diffusion. The rate of permeation is dependent on the chemical properties of the solute and …

Aquaporins are a family of membrane proteins specialized in rapid water conduction across
biological membranes. Whether these channels also conduct gas molecules and the …

The transmembrane permeation of eight small (molecular weight< 100) organic molecules
across a phospholipid bilayer is investigated by multiscale molecular dynamics simulation …

The unassisted permeation process of β-blocker drugs (alprenolol, atenolol, pindolol) and
steroid hormones (progesterone, testosterone) through a lipid membrane is simulated by a …

Fatty acids (FAs) are the major structural component of cellular membranes, which provide a
physical and chemical barrier that insulates intracellular reactions from environmental …

Rapid development of computer power during the last decade has made molecular
simulations of lipid bilayers feasible for many research groups, which, together with the …

Water permeability of two different lipid bilayers of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC)
and palmitoylsphingomyelin (PSM) in the absence and presence of cholesterol (0–50 mol%) …
