Abstract

    The dynamics of cholesterol molecules forming an ultrathin layer (lodgment) around an extracellular domain protein has been studied via molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We have also investigated the impact of the graphene layer on the nanosystems studied.  The graphene wall influences the motion of cholesterol molecules forming the thin layer developed over the surface of a protein.
