Computer modelling of glycolipids at membrane surfaces.

ABSTRACT

Interactions of membrane anchored molecules such as glycolipids with a membrane surface are important in determining headgroup conformation. It is therefore essential to represent these membrane surface interactions in molecular modeling studies of glycolipids and other membrane bound molecules. We introduce here an energy term that represents the interaction of molecules with a membrane bilayer. This membrane interaction energy term has been added to the potential energy function of a molecular dynamics and mechanics program and has been parameterized using partition coefficients between an aqueous solution and a vesicular membrane for two model glycolipids.
