TL;DR: The coarse-grained Martini force field is widely used in biomolecular simulations as discussed by the authors, which allows accurate predictions of molecular packing and interactions in general, exemplified with a vast and diverse set of applications, ranging from oil/water partitioning and miscibility data to complex molecular systems, involving protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions and material science applications as ionic liquids and aedamers.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that fractional Langevin equation motion universally describes the lipid motion in all phases, including the gel phase, and in the presence of cholesterol.

TL;DR: In this paper, an investigation into how lipids diffuse in the presence of varying protein:lipid number ratios reveals that protein crowding results in drastically different lipid and protein diffusion due to the strengthened impact of correlated motion.

TL;DR: This review discusses the current state-of-the-art of biomembrane simulations that, until now, have largely focused on a rather narrow picture of the complexity of the membranes, and discusses the challenges that should unravel in the foreseeable future.

TL;DR: It is found that both packing and protein crowding have a profound effect on lateral diffusion, slowing it down and suggesting that protein concentration is anything but constant in the plane of cell membranes.
