Chiu S, Pandit S, Scott H, Jakobsson E
J Phys Chem B . 2009 Aug; 113(9):2748-63. PMID: 19708111
We introduce a new force field (43A1-S3) for simulation of membranes by the Gromacs simulation package. Construction of the force fields is by standard methods of electronic structure computations for...

Pandit S, Scott H
Biochim Biophys Acta . 2008 Oct; 1788(1):136-48. PMID: 18848917
This review will focus on computer modeling aimed at providing insights into the existence, structure, size, and thermodynamic stability of localized domains in membranes of heterogeneous composition. Modeling the lateral...

Pandit S, Chiu S, Jakobsson E, Grama A, Scott H
Langmuir . 2008 Jun; 24(13):6858-65. PMID: 18517226
The fundamental role of cholesterol in the regulation of eukaryotic membrane structure is well-established. However the manner in which atomic level interactions between cholesterol and lipids, with varying degrees of...

Pandit S, Scott H
Methods Mol Biol . 2008 Jan; 398:283-302. PMID: 18214387
Computer modeling can provide insights into the existence, structure, size, and thermodynamic stability of localized raft-like regions in membranes. However, the challenges in the construction and simulation of accurate models...

Pandit S, Khelashvili G, Jakobsson E, Grama A, Scott H
Biophys J . 2006 Oct; 92(2):440-7. PMID: 17071661
Interactions between lipid and cholesterol molecules in membranes play an important role in the structural and functional properties of cell membranes. Although structural properties of lipid-cholesterol mixtures have been extensively...

Pandit S, Chiu S, Jakobsson E, Grama A, Scott H
Biophys J . 2006 Oct; 92(3):920-7. PMID: 17071659
Experimental evidence indicates that, under some circumstances, "surrogate" molecules may play the same role as cholesterol in ordering membrane lipids. The simplest molecule in this class is Ceramide. In this...

Pandit S, Scott H
J Chem Phys . 2006 Jan; 124(1):14708. PMID: 16409052
Ceramide is the simplest lipid in the biologically important class of glycosphingolipids. Ceramide is an important signaling molecule and a major component of the strateum corneum layer in the skin....

Khelashvili G, Pandit S, Scott H
J Chem Phys . 2005 Aug; 123(3):34910. PMID: 16080766
We have developed a dynamic self-consistent mean-field model, based on molecular-dynamics simulations, to study lipid-cholesterol bilayers. In this model the lipid bilayer is represented as a two-dimensional lattice field in...

Pandit S, Jakobsson E, Scott H
Biophys J . 2004 Sep; 87(5):3312-22. PMID: 15339797
It is known from experimental studies that lipid bilayers composed of unsaturated phospholipids, sphingomyelin, and cholesterol contain microdomains rich in sphingomyelin and cholesterol. These domains are similar to "rafts" isolated...

Pandit S, Vasudevan S, Chiu S, Mashl R, Jakobsson E, Scott H
Biophys J . 2004 Aug; 87(2):1092-100. PMID: 15298913
We have carried out an atomic-level molecular dynamics simulation of a system of nanoscopic size containing a domain of 18:0 sphingomyelin and cholesterol embedded in a fully hydrated dioleylposphatidylcholine (DOPC)...
