Importance of Hydrophilic Groups on Modulating the Structural, Mechanical, and Interfacial Properties of Bilayers: A Comparative Molecular Dynamics Study of Phosphatidylcholine and Ion Pair Amphiphile Membranes

An ion pair amphiphile (IPA), a molecular complex composed of two oppositely charged amphiphiles, is a phospholipid mimic which differs from a phospholipid only in the hydrophilic compositions. Here, we utilized molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to compare the bilayer systems composed of phosphati...
