Molecular dynamics study of membrane permeabilization by wild-type and mutant lytic peptides from the non-enveloped Flock House virus

Autor: Shivangi Nangia, Eric R. May, Kevin J. Boyd

Publikováno v: Biochim Biophys Acta Biomembr

Flock House virus (FHV) serves as a model system for understanding infection mechanisms utilized by non-enveloped viruses to transport across cellular membranes. During the infection cycle of FHV, a fundamental stage involves disruption of the endoso

BUMPy: A Model-Independent Tool for Constructing Lipid Bilayers of Varying Curvature and Composition

Autor: Eric R. May, Kevin J. Boyd

Publikováno v: Journal of chemical theory and computation. 14(12)

Molecular dynamics is a powerful tool to investigate atomistic and mesoscopic phenomena in lipid bilayer systems. These studies have progressed with the advent of increased computational power, and efforts are now increasingly being directed toward i
