摘要: Publisher Summary Monte Carlo (MC) methods have proved to be useful with model membrane systems, making it possible simulate the fluctuating conformations and calculate properties relate them experimental observables. Correlations between particular conformational complex functions would aid in interpretation of provide basis for further work. In any case, quantitative agreement calculation experiment is essential. This chapter describes a simple gel-to-liquid crystalline transition lipid bilayers. Bilayer membranes composed single undergo at temperature defined by chemical nature lipid, degree hydration, basic structure membrane. has been described extensively bilayer made dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC). The approach introduce as much information into calculation, assume values minimal number additional parameters, then test results quantitatively data. reviews other MC simulations one- two-component systems discusses computational applied.
