Membrane structural perturbations caused by anesthetics and nonimmobilizers: a molecular dynamics investigation AbstractThe structural perturbations of the fully hydrated dimyristoyl-phosphatidylcholine bilayer induced by the presence of hexafluoroethane C2F6, a “nonimmobilizer,” have been examined by molecular dynamics simulations and compared with the effects produced by halothane CF3CHBrCl, an “anesthetic,”...
Membrane structural perturbations caused by anesthetics and nonimmobilizers: a molecular dynamics investigation.The structural perturbations of the fully hydrated dimyristoyl-phosphatidylcholine bilayer induced by the presence of hexafluoroethane C(2F6), a "nonimmobilizer," have been examined by molecular dynamics simulations and compared with the effects produced by halothane CF3CHBrCl, an "anesthetic,"...
Molecular dynamics simulations of c2f6 effects on gramicidin a: implications of the mechanisms of general anesthesia ... To verify that the specific dynamics effects caused by general anesthetics were not shared by nonanesthetic molecules, two parallel 8-ns all-atom molecular dynamics simulations were performed on a gramicidin A (gA) channel in a fully hydrated dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine membrane in the presence and absence of hexafluoroethane (HFE), which structurally resembles the potent anesthetic molecule halothane but produces no anesthesia....
Protocol for measurement of tetrafluoromethane and hexafluoroethane from primary aluminum productionTwo perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), tetrafluoromethane (CF4) and hexafluoroethane (C2F6), are produced periodically during primary aluminum production by the Hall-Héroult process....
