Abstract

Phase behavior of lipid bilayers at high pressure is critical to biological processes. Using coarse grained molecular dynamic simulations, we report critical characteristics of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine bilayers with applied high pressure, and also show their phase transition by cooling bilayer patches. Our results indicate that the phase transition temperature of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine bilayers obviously shifts with pressure increasing in the rate of 37 °C kbar−1, which are in agreement with experimental data. Moreover, the main phase transition is revealed to be strongly dependent on lipid area. A critical lipid area of ∼0.57 nm2 is found on the main phase transition boundary. Similar structures of acyl chains lead to the same sensitivity of phase transition temperature of different lipids to the pressure. Based on the lateral density and pressure profiles, we also discuss the different effects on bilayer structure induced by high temperature and high pressure, e.g., increasing temperature induces higher degree of interdigitation of lipid tails and thinner bilayers, and increasing pressure maintains the degree of interdigitation and bilayer thickness.
