Specific binding structures of dendrimers on lipid bilayer membranes
Abstract
Dissipative particle dynamics simulations are used to study the specific binding structures of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers on amphiphilic membranes and the permeation mechanisms. Mutually consistent coarse-grained (CG) models both for PAMAM dendrimers and for dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC)
