## Abstract The effects of gramicidin A (GA) peptide on the structure of lipid bilayer were studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in the absence and presence of GA peptide. The hydrophobic match between the GA and surrounding lipid bilayer was investigated by the MD simulations of four kin
Lipid bilayer membranes were made from hopanoid phosphatidylcholine mixtures dissolved in decane. The specific capacity of the mixed membranes was found to increase with increasing hopanoid content. This indicates an interaction between hopanoids and lipids which leads to a reduction of the chemical
