Inferring protein-induced spontaneous curvature of lipid bilayers from molecular simulation

Amirali Hossein, Melanie A. Brunet, Noah Englander…·Alexander J. Sodt

This paper introduces a method to estimate protein-induced curvature of lipid bilayers using molecular simulations by correlating molecular position with curvature in thermally fluctuating bilayer modes.
