Interaction of Bile Salts With Lipid Bilayers: An Atomistic Molecular Dynamics Study

Bile salts (BS) are biosurfactants crucial for emulsification and intestinal absorption of cholesterol and other hydrophobic compounds such as vitamins and fatty acids. Interaction of BS with lipid bilayers is important for understanding their effects on membranes properties. The latter have relevan...
