Fig. 4. (a) Snapshots of the sitosterol–oryzanol organogel with glycerol and water at the beginning and at the end of the course of the MD simulation. Sitosterol is shown with cyan carbons and oryzanol with orange carbons. (b) Time-dependent root mean square deviation (RMSD) from the starting conformation, (c) mass-weighted radius of gyration and (d) number of sitosterol–oryzanol hydrogen bonds measured for the 50 ns MD simulations of the organogel system in water and in glycerol (colored black and red, respectively). Alignments and measurements were performed for the carbon atoms.
