Steered Molecular Dynamics of Lipid Membrane Indentation by Carbon and Silicon-Carbide Nanotubes—The Impact of Indenting Angle Uncertainty

Due to the semi-liquid nature and uneven morphologies of biological membranes, indentation may occur in a range of non-ideal conditions. These conditions are relatively unstudied and may alter the physical characteristics of the process. One of the basic challenges in the construction of nanoindente...
