Their algorithm backmaps a large-scale model that includes features such as membrane curvature to its corresponding coarse-grained molecular model. This has allowed them to zoom in on toxin-induced membrane budding and to simulate a full-sized mitochondrial lipid membrane. Their approach, which was published in the journal Nature Communications on 8 May, opens the way to whole-cell simulations at a molecular level.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-05-simulation-full-sized-mitochondrial-membrane.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">First simulation of a full-sized mitochondrial membrane<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientists from the University of Groningen have developed a method that combines different resolution levels in a computer simulation of biological membranes.
