Abstract:We use molecular dynamics simulations to characterise the local lipid annulus, or “fingerprint”, of three SLC6 transporters (dDAT, hSERT, and GlyT2) embedded into a complex neuronal membrane. New membrane analysis tools were created to improve leaflet detection and leaflet-dependent properties. Overall, lipid fingerprints are comprised of similar lipids when grouped by headgroup or tail saturation. The enrichment and depletion of specific lipids, including sites of cholesterol contacts, varies between transpor… Show more
