Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) transports cholesteryl esters, triglycerides, and phospholipids between different lipoprotein fractions in blood plasma. The inhibition of CETP has been shown to be a sound strategy to prevent and treat the d

We study the structure and dynamics of spherical high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles through coarse-grained multi-microsecond molecular dynamics simulations. We simulate both a lipid droplet without the apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) and the full H

The paradigm of biological membranes has recently gone through a major update. Instead of being fluid and homogeneous, recent studies suggest that membranes are characterized by transient domains with varying fluidity. In particular, a number of expe

A force field has been previously designed for a dodecasaccharide chain of chondroitin-6-sulfate (C6S) and has proved to yield valuable data going from basic conformational properties to a more detailed H-bonding network. This force field is further

Phospholipids are key components of biological membranes and their lipolysis with phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes occurs in different cellular pH environments. Since no studies are available on the effect of pH on PLA2-modified phospholipid membranes

We elucidate the influence of unsaturation on single-component membrane properties, focusing on their dynamical aspects and lateral pressure profiles across the membrane. To this end, we employ atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to study five d

Typical biomolecular systems such as cellular membranes, DNA, and protein complexes are highly charged. Thus, efficient and accurate treatment of electrostatic interactions is of great importance in computational modeling of such systems. We have emp

The effects of cholesterol (Chol) on phospholipid bilayers include ordering of the fatty acyl chains, condensing of the lipids in the bilayer plane, and promotion of the liquid-ordered phase. These effects depend on the type of phospholipids in the b

We have conducted molecular dynamics simulations to gain insight into the atomic-scale properties of an isotropic system of cholesteryl oleate (CO) molecules. Cholesteryl esters are major constituents of low density lipoprotein particles, the key pla

Sphingomyelins (SMs) are among the most common phospholipid components of plasma membranes, usually constituting a mixture of several molecular species with various fatty acyl chain moieties. In this work, we utilize atomistic molecular dynamics simu
