TL;DR: The 2018 Biomembrane Curvature and Remodeling Roadmap of Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics addresses the need for clarity and is intended to provide guidance both for students who have just entered the field as well as established scientists who would like to improve their orientation within this fascinating area.

TL;DR: An algorithm to reconstruct atomistic structures from their corresponding coarse‐grained (CG) representations and its implementation into the freely available molecular dynamics (MD) program package GROMACS is presented.

TL;DR: 3D pressure fields for inhomogeneous nanoscale systems using molecular dynamics simulation data are calculated, showing that the 3D pressure field is distinctly different for curved and planar bilayers, the pressure field depends strongly on the phase of the membrane, and that an integral protein modulates the tension and elastic properties of the membranes.

TL;DR: The effect of temperature and membrane composition on the structural and dynamical properties of a liposomal membrane in the limit of high curvature is studied, using coarse grained molecular dynamics simulations.

TL;DR: It is shown that a single channel is able to relax the liposome, stressed to the point of bursting, in a matter of microseconds, and this provides a computational tool that opens the way to contribute to the rational design of functional nano-containers.
