Session: Modeling of Lipid Membranes and Membrane Proteins

This session seeks contributions on computational and theoretical modeling of lipid bilayer and membrane proteins. The session will focus both on method development and application of different computational approaches that provide molecular level insights into the membrane dynamics, lipid membrane complexity from eukaryotic to bacterial cell, lipid rafts, lipid-protein interactions, protein-protein self-assembly, transport across membranes, cellular uptake mechanism, nanoparticle-membrane adhesion, and effect of surfactants on membranes. The emphasis of the session will be on simulation and computational papers, but contributions from complementary experimental papers are also welcome.
