Sorting and Clustering of Membrane Proteins in Crowded Environments

In this lecture, I will illustrate the power of computational modeling to study the sorting and clustering of membrane proteins in the heterogeneous environment of multicomponent lipid membranes.
In particular, based on coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations.
I will discuss the role of lipid anchors and gangliosides in directing proteins into liquid-ordered membrane domains, as well as the role of cardiolipin in respiratory chain supercomplex formation.
