Molecular dynamics simulations reliably identify vibrational modes in far-IR spectra of phospholipids by Chng, Choon-Peng, Dowd, Annette, Mechler, Adam, Hsia, K. Jimmy

“…The properties of self-assembled phospholipid membranes are of essential importance in biochemistry and physical chemistry, providing a platform for many cellular life functions. Far-infrared (far-IR) vibrational spectroscopy, on the other hand, is a highly information-rich method to characterize intermolecular interactions and collective behaviour of lipids that can help explain, e.g., chain packing, thermodynamic phase behaviour, and sequestration. …”
