Ceramide binding to VDAC

VDAC-ceramide.pngStarting as a simple tutorial excercise to demonstrate the power of Martini to study protein-lipid interactions, ending up as a full-blown paper with lots of experimental support and biological relevance ! Read all about the amazing ability of ceramides to bind to voltage dependent anion channels (VDAC) in mitochondrial membranes:
