The Effect of Tethers on Artificial Cell Membranes: A Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Study.

Tethered bilayer lipid membranes (tBLMs) provide a stable platform for modeling the dynamics and order of biological membranes where the tethers mimic the cytoskeletal supports present in biological cell membranes. In this paper coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CGMD) is applied to study the effect...
