Abstract excerpt
To explore the role of lung surfactant proteins SP-B and SP-C in storing and redelivering lipid from lipid monolayers during the compression and re-expansion occurring in lungs during breathing, we simulate the folding of lipid monolayers with and without these proteins. We utilize the MARTINI coarse-grained force field to simulate monolayers containing pure dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and DPPC mixed...
