Coarse-Grained Simulation of Lipid Bilayers with the MDPD-MARTINI Force Field

Simulating lipid-membrane structure by combining many-body dissipative particle dynamics with MARTINI coarse-graining so that large bilayers can be modeled over long physical times far faster than atomistic molecular dynamics. Running such simulations and validating them by computing membrane properties like area per lipid and thickness against MD-MARTINI and experiment demonstrates the transferability of the coarse-grained model.
