Computational Study of Membrane Protein Dynamics in Lipid Bilayers


EMSL Project ID
43892

Abstract

Membrane proteins are extremely important and complex in living cells. Studying the dynamical processes of membrane proteins is crucial for uncovering the fundamental mechanisms and dynamics governing biological interactions and interfaces, such as ion channel dynamics, neoron dynamics, and cell signaling processes. It would also help the understanding of the complex biological network involving cellular communications and interactions in living cells. In this project, we plan to carry out a systematic simulation study on colicin dynamics in membranes under external electric field using the computation facility of EMSL at PNNL.
