The interaction of C60 and its derivatives with a lipid bilayer via molecular dynamics simulations.

Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations have been used to explore the interactions of C(60) and its derivatives with lipid bilayers. Pristine C(60) partitions into the bilayer core, whilst C(60)(OH)(20) experiences a central energetic barrier to permeation across the bilayer. For intermediate...
