{\color{ndblue}

A mesoscale model for phospholipids has been developed for molecular
dynamics simulations of phospholipid phase transitions. The model makes several
simplifications to both the water and the phospholipids to reduce the
computational cost of each force evaluation. The water was represented
by the soft sticky dipole model of Ichiye \emph{et
al}.\cite{liu96:new_model,liu96:monte_carlo,chandra99:ssd_md} The
simplifications to the phospholipids included the reduction of atoms
in the tail groups to beads representing $\mbox{CH}_{2}$ and
$\mbox{CH}_{3}$ unified atoms, and the replacement of the head groups
with a single point mass containing a centrally located dipole. The
model was then used to simulate micelle formation from a configuration
of randomly placed phospholipids which was simulated for times in
excess of 20 nanoseconds.

%%  \subsection{{\color{ndblue}Motivation}}
  \label{sec:motivation}


Simulations of phospholipid phases are, by necessity, quite
complex. The lipid molecules are large, and contain many
atoms. Additionally, the head groups of the lipids are often
zwitterions, and the large separation between charges results in a
large dipole moment. Adding to the complexity are the number of water
molecules needed to properly solvate the lipid bilayer, typically 25
water molecules for every lipid molecule. These factors make it
difficult to study certain biologically interesting phenomena that
have large inherent length or time scale.

\item Current simulations have box sizes ranging from 50 - 100 $\mbox{\AA}$ on a side.\cite{saiz02,lindahl00,venable00}

\subsection{{\color{ndblue}The Water Model}}
\label{sec:waterModel}

The waters in the simulation were modeled after the Soft Sticky Dipole
(SSD) model of Ichiye.\cite{liu96:new_model} Where:

\begin{wrapfigure}[10]{o}{60mm}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=40mm]{ssd.epsi}
\end{center}
\end{wrapfigure}
\mbox{}
\begin{itemize}
\item $\sigma$ is the Lennard-Jones length parameter
\item $\boldsymbol{\mu}_i$ is the dipole vector of molecule $i$
\item $\mathbf{r}_{ij}$ is the vector between molecules $i$ and $j$
\item $\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i$ and $\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j$ are the Euler angles of molecule $i$ or $j$ respectively
\end{itemize}

It's potential is as follows:
\begin{equation}
V_{s\!s\!d} = V_{L\!J}(r_{i\!j}) + V_{d\!p}(r_{i\!j},\Omega_{i},\Omega_{j})
        + V_{s\!p}(r_{i\!j},\Omega_{i},\Omega_{j})
\label{eq:ssdPot}
\end{equation}
Where $V_{d\!p}(r_{i\!j})$ is given in Eq.~\ref{eq:dipole}, and $V_{L\!J}(r_{i\!j})$ is the Lennard-Jones potential.
  \end{kasten}

  \begin{kasten}
        \subsection{{\color{ndblue}Soft Sticky Potential}}
        \label{sec:SSeq}

        Hydrogen bonding in the SSD model is described by the
        $V_{\text{sp}}$ term in Eq.~\ref{eq:ssdPot}. Its form is as follows:
\begin{equation}
V_{\text{sp}}(\mathbf{r}_{i\!j},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_{i},
        \boldsymbol{\Omega}_{j}) =
        v^{\circ}[s(r_{ij})w_{ij}(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_{i},
                \boldsymbol{\Omega}_{j})
        +
        s'(r_{ij})w^{x}_{ij}(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_{i},
                \boldsymbol{\Omega}_{j})]
\label{eq:spPot}
\end{equation}
Where $v^\circ$ scales the strength of the interaction.
$w_{ij}(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_{i},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_{j})$
and
$w^{x}_{ij}(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_{i},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_{j})$
are responsible for the tetrahedral potential and a correction to the
tetrahedral potential respectively. They are,
\begin{equation}
w_{ij}(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_{i},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_{j}) =
        \sin\theta_{ij} \sin 2\theta_{ij} \cos 2\phi_{ij}
        + \sin \theta_{ji} \sin 2\theta_{ji} \cos 2\phi_{ji}
\label{eq:spPot2}
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
w^{x}_{ij}(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_{i},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_{j}) =
        &(\cos\theta_{ij}-0.6)^2(\cos\theta_{ij} + 0.8)^2 \\
        &+ (\cos\theta_{ji}-0.6)^2(\cos\theta_{ji} + 0.8)^2 - 2w^{\circ}
\end{split}
\label{eq:spCorrection}
\end{equation}
The angles $\theta_{ij}$ and $\phi_{ij}$ are defined by the spherical
coordinates of the position of molecule $j$ in the reference frame
fixed on molecule $i$ with the z-axis aligned with the dipole moment.
The correction
$w^{x}_{ij}(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_{i},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_{j})$
is needed because
$w_{ij}(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_{i},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_{j})$
vanishes when $\theta_{ij}$ is $0^\circ$ or $180^\circ$. Finally, the 
potential is scaled by the switching function $s(r_{ij})$, 
which scales smoothly from 0 to 1.
\begin{equation}
s(r_{ij}) = 
        \begin{cases}
        1&      \text{if $r_{ij} < r_{L}$}, \\
        \frac{(r_{U} - r_{ij})^2 (r_{U} + 2r_{ij} 
                - 3r_{L})}{(r_{U}-r_{L})^3}&
                \text{if $r_{L} \leq r_{ij} \leq r_{U}$},\\
        0&      \text{if $r_{ij} \geq r_{U}$}.
        \end{cases}
\label{eq:spCutoff}
\end{equation}

        The initial results show much promise for the model. The
        system of 50 lipids was able to form micelles quickly, however
        bilayer formation was not seen on the time scale of the
        current simulation. Current simulations are exploring the
        parameter space of the model when the tail beads are larger than
        the head group. This should help to drive the system toward a
        bilayer rather than a micelle. Work is also being done on the
        simulation engine to allow for the box size of the system to
        be adjustable in all three dimensions to allow for constant
        pressure.
