Protein Aggregation in Biological Membrane, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Jalali, Mir Abbas (Supervisor) ; Ejtehadi, Mohammad Reza (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
Aggregation of membrane proteins plays a determinative role in many biological processes، such as signal transduction, cell division and endocytosis. In the present study, we have investigated the interaction between proteins in vesicles by means of coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. In the first step, a number of periodic lipid bilayers were simulated and their physical properties were calculated. Then, bilayers were immersed in water and converted into spherical vesicles via a selforganizing process . Finally two proteins were embedded into the vesicle and the potential of mean force (PMF) respect to the angle between them was obtained using umbrella sampling. This process was...
