Abstract excerpt
Amphitropic proteins, such as the virulence factor phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) from Bacillus thuringiensis , often depend on lipid-specific recognition of target membranes. However, the recognition mechanisms for zwitterionic lipids, such as phosphatidylcholine, which is enriched in the outer leaflet of eukaryotic cells, are not well understood. A 500 ns long molecular dynamics...
