“…By reducing the number of degrees of freedom together with the use of short range potentials, CGMD models can gain four to five orders of magnitude in speed compared with full-atom models, achieving length scales on the order of micrometers and timescales on the order of milliseconds. Encouraged by such computational efficiency, a number of CGMD models have been developed and used to study lipids and surfactants systems, including micelles [17,18], bilayers [19,20], micelle aggregation [21] and vesicle formation [22]. However, it should be noted that the computational efficiency of CGMD models is usually gained at the cost of loss in accuracy.…”
