| Small amphiphilic molecules or sections of molecules will partition into the lipid bilayer. Partitioning (or incorrect partitioning) is related to healthy states as well as unhealthy states such as solvent exposure, viral infection and Alzheimer's disease. We have used both experiment (micropipette aspiration) and computer simulations to study partitioning of small molecules into the lipid bilayer. Our recent studies on the partitioning of short-chain alcohols and peptides will be presented. |
