Interactions of a transmembrane helix and a membrane: Comparative simulations of bacteriorhodopsin helix A

Helix A of bacteriorhodopsin was simulated by using molecular dynamics both in isolation and as part of the complete protein. A POPC lipid bilayer and an octane monolayer were used as model membranes. Comparison of various systems showed octane to be a good alternative to lipid bilayer membranes pro...
