Effects of imidazolium-based ionic liquids on the stability and dynamics of gramicidin A and lipid bilayers at different salt concentrations
We simulated membranes consisting of imidazolium-based ionic liquids and lipids. We aim to understand toxicity of ionic liquids for industrial & environmental applications. IL concentration and salt condition modulate stability and mobility of membranes. Simulations explain the conflicting experimental results regarding on ion permeability.
