Coarse-grained simulations of supported and unsupported lipid monolayers

Chenyue Xing and Roland Faller


Coarse-grained molecular simulations of various phospholipid monolayer systems are presented and compared to each other. The differences between supported and unsupported systems are discussed in terms of structure and thermodynamics. The structural information allows us to obtain a thorough understanding of such systems at the molecular level.
