摘要
In order to obtain a better description for the membrane area of a lipid bilayer, the potential parameter set OPLS, modified with respect to the interaction for the alkyl chain, was adopted for the present molecular dynamics simulation. A long-time and large-scale calculation based upon this modified potential presented a remarkable improvement of the membrane area for the dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine bilayer in the liquid crystal phase, showing a good agreement with experiment.
