interaction of phospholipase A2 with a phospholipid bilayer: Coarse−grained molecular dynamics simulations

CL Wee‚ K. Balali−Mood‚ DJ Gavaghan and MSP Sansom

Abstract

A number of membrane-active enzymes act in a complex environment formed by the interface between a lipid bilayer and bulk water. Although x-ray diffraction studies yield structures of isolated enzyme molecules, a detailed characterization of their interactions with the interface requires a measure of how deeply such a membrane-associated protein penetrates into a lipid bilayer. Here, we apply coarse-grained (
