Sze May Yee successfully defended her PhD thesis!

On Thursday 24th February, Sze May Yee successfully defended her PhD thesis entitled “Towards the Simulations of Complex Human Brain Cell Membranes.” May was examined by  Edina Rosta and Antreas Kalli, who have requested that she completes minor corrections to her thesis.  May’s viva was able to be held in …

New Paper: “On the structure and flip-flop of free docosahexaenoic acid in a model human brain membrane”

In this manuscript, we present important findings on the transport of free protonated docosahexaenoic acid (DHAP) within a model a human brain lipid membrane and on the effect that DHAP has on the structural and dynamic properties of the membrane. We report the results of large-scale all-atom molecular dynamics simulations …

New Paper: “Effect of lipid heterogeneity on model human brain lipid membranes”

In this manuscript, we present important findings of how lipid heterogeneity in model lipid membranes affect various structural and dynamic properties of the lipids within the membranes .  We report the results of large-scale all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of commonly used simple model lipid membranes as well as two complex …
