In the first step, we developed all-atom force-field parameters for additive molecules in membranes to enable an accurate description of those systems. On the basis of this force field, we performed extensive simulations of various bilayer systems containing different additives. The additive molecules were chosen to be of different size and shape, and they included small molecules such as perfluorinated alcohols, but also more complex molecules. From these simulations, we investigated the structural and dynamic effects of the additives on the membrane properties, as well as the behavior of the additive molecules themselves. Our results are in good agreement with other theoretical and experimental studies, and they contribute to a microscopic understanding of interactions, which might be used to specifically tune membrane properties by additives in the future.","lang":"eng"}],"extern":"1","status":"public","_id":"45183","user_id":"100167","year":"2017","keyword":["Polymers and Plastics","General Chemistry"],"type":"journal_article","publisher":"MDPI AG","article_number":"445","citation":{"mla":"Peschel, Christopher, et al. “Polyphilic Interactions as Structural Driving Force Investigated by Molecular Dynamics Simulation (Project 7).” Polymers, vol. 9, no. 9, 445, MDPI AG, 2017, doi:10.3390/polym9090445.","chicago":"Peschel, Christopher, Martin Brehm, and Daniel Sebastiani. “Polyphilic Interactions as Structural Driving Force Investigated by Molecular Dynamics Simulation (Project 7).” Polymers 9, no. 9 (2017). https://doi.org/10.3390/polym9090445.","apa":"Peschel, C., Brehm, M., & Sebastiani, D.
