Abstract: | This paper presents results of Monte Carlo simulations of a full bilayer of 200 lipid chains and one gramicidin A dimer. Simulations are described for systems with lipid chains of 14, 16, and 18 carbons, respectively. Using accepted potential functions to calculate interactions between all non-hydrogen atoms a Monte Carlo configuration sampling is generated from which order parameter profiles are calculated and specific configurations are displayed. Results are compared with experimental data for lipid-gramicidin bilayers. |
