Study of the structure and dynamics of interphase membrane / water in a clean membrane dimirystynowo - phosphatidylcholine ( DMPC ) and membrane mixed DMPC - cholesterol ( Chol ) was carried out using molecular dynamics simulation . The interphase region of the polar groups of lipids and water form an extensive network of connections .
5 - ns performed molecular dynamics simulation of the hydrated membrane in the liquid crystal phase formed by dimyrystynowej phosphatidylcholine ( DMPC ) and cholesterol ( Chol ) . The aim of the analysis was to clarify the trajectory obtained the mechanism of the ordering and condensing Chol at the atomic level . Ordering of the hydrocarbon chains in the membrane DMPC - Chol is greater than in pure DMPC membrane . Most are arranged adjacent molecular chains of DMPC and Chol smooth surface .
