Interaction of hydrophobic polymers with model lipid bilayers

Abstract The interaction of nanoscale synthetic materials with cell membranes is one of the key steps determining nanomaterials’ toxicity. Here we use molecular simulations, with atomistic and coarse-grained resolution, to investigate the interaction of three hydrophobic polymers with model lipid me...
