Lipidbook: a public repository for force-field parameters used in membrane simulations. by Domański, J, Stansfeld, P, Sansom, MS, Beckstein, O

“…Lipidbook is a public database for force-field parameters with a special emphasis on lipids, detergents and similar molecules that are of interest when simulating biological membrane systems. It stores parameter files that are supplied by the community. …”

Liquid-vapor oscillations of water in hydrophobic nanopores. by Beckstein, O, Sansom, MS

“…Water plays a key role in biological membrane transport. In ion channels and water-conducting pores (aquaporins), one-dimensional confinement in conjunction with strong surface effects changes the physical behavior of water. …”

A hydrophobic gating mechanism for nanopores by Beckstein, O, Biggin, P, Sansom, M

“…Water-filled pores of nanometer dimensions play important roles in chemistry and biology, e.g., as channels through biological membranes. Biological nanopores are frequently gated, i.e., they switch between an open and a closed state. …”
