Figure 3. Self-assembly of lipid bilayer in the presence of AtCP.

Self-assembly CG-MD simulation of membrane containing 20% POPA (charge −2)/POPC at time A 0 ns, B 5 ns, C 20 ns, and D 100 ns. CG water molecules and Na⁺ ions are not shown for the sake of clarity. Headgroups and glycerol backbone atoms of POPA are highlighted in van der Waals representation. Only protein backbone atoms are shown in licorice representation. This figure was prepared using VMD [54].
