Conformational Dynamics and Stability of Bilayers Formed by Mycolic Acids from the <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> Outer Membrane

Conformational Dynamics and Stability of Bilayers Formed by Mycolic Acids from the <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> Outer Membrane

Bilayers of mycolic acids (MAs) form the outer membrane of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> that has high strength and extremely low permeability for external molecules (including antibiotics). For the first time, we were able to study them using the all-atom long-term molecular dynamic...
