Description
In the yeast plasma membrane, domains rich in long-chain sphingolipids are observed. Our study employs MD simulations to explore the influence of these lipids on membrane properties. We utilize both coarse-grained and all-atom models, employing a simplified lipid composition with varying concentrations of long-chain lipids. We assess the impact on diverse parameters such as order parameter, and degree of nonaffineness to unravel the relationship between long-chain lipids and membrane properties.
