Molecular Dynamics Simulation of the Interface Energy of Cell Membrane
A simulation procedure is demonstrated, which can be used to determine the interface energy of cell membrane. To obtain the interface energy between cell membranes, it is needed to be investigated based on reliable information that induces the recent requests of the advanced computational
simulation technology. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can provide information on studying the interface between two objects. MD simulation represents an ideal tool for studying the interfacial properties. In this study, the biological membrane of cells has been modeled to calculate the
interface energy between them. The calculated interface energy is verified with the reported experimental evidence. The consistent and sound simulation results suggest the substantial potential of the suggested approach in estimating various kinds of biological properties and characterizing
the biological phenomena.
