Description:
This session seeks contributions on computational and theoretical modeling of lipid bilayers and membrane proteins. The session will focus both on the development and application of different computational approaches that provide molecular-level insights into membrane dynamics, lipid membrane complexity from eukaryotic to bacterial cells, lipid rafts, lipid-protein and protein-protein interactions, transport across membranes, cellular uptake mechanisms, nanoparticle-membrane adhesion, and the effect of surfactants on membranes. The emphasis of the session will be on simulation and computational papers, but contributions from complementary experimental papers are also welcome.
