TL;DR: The results propose that the functioning of certain classes of membrane proteins is regulated by changes in the lateral pressure profile, which can be altered by a change in lipid content.

Biomolecular simulations of membranes: physical properties from different force fields
TL;DR: This work compares the two most applied atomic force fields for phospholipids, the all-atom CHARMM27 and the united atom Berger force field, with a newly developed all- atom generalized AMBER force field (GAFF) for dioleoylphosphatidylcholine molecules.

Molecular dynamics with coupling to an external bath.
TL;DR: In this paper, a method is described to realize coupling to an external bath with constant temperature or pressure with adjustable time constants for the coupling, which can be easily extendable to other variables and to gradients, and can be applied also to polyatomic molecules involving internal constraints.

A smooth particle mesh Ewald method
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that arbitrary accuracy can be achieved, independent of system size N, at a cost that scales as N log(N), which is comparable to that of a simple truncation method of 10 A or less.

LINCS : A linear constraint solver for molecular simulations
TL;DR: Although the derivation of the algorithm is presented in terms of matrices, no matrix matrix multiplications are needed and only the nonzero matrix elements have to be stored, making the method useful for very large molecules.
