Sensing hydration and behavior of pyrene in POPC and POPC/cholesterol bilayers: A molecular dynamics study

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of bilayers of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) with varying amounts of cholesterol (0, 5, 20, and 40 mol%) were carried out in the absence and presence of inserted pyrene molecules. Both fluorophore and bilayer parameters were computed, for...
