What is Effects of cholesterol and temperature on structural properties and dynamic behavior of niosome bilayers with melatonin Inclusion: A Coarse-Grained simulation study about?

The effects of cholesterol and temperature on the physical properties of niosome bilayers with and without melatonin inclusion have been investigated using coarse-grained (CG) simulations. CG models of Span 60 and melatonin have been newly developed and then validated by comparing them with all atomistic (AA) simulation results. The CG simulations of niosome bilayers with melatonin inclusion at various cholesterol concentrations (0–70 mol% Chol) were carried out at room temperature, 298 K. A niosome bilayer with melatonin inclusion at a 50 mol% Chol level was simulated for various temperatures (300 K–340 K). The bilayer structure and dynamic properties of these systems were examined as a function of cholesterol concentration and temperature. Melatonin molecules in the niosome bilayer preferentially diffuse into the water phase and the niosome bilayer develops a more disordered structure as temperature increases. Melatonin showed two possible orientations. The first is parallel to the bilayer surface and the second is tilted at an angle to the bilayer normal. Maximal efficiency of melatonin entrapment of a niosome bilayer is found at a 50 mol% Chol cholesterol concentration when T =
