Abstract
In real biological membranes the cholesterol molecules are often dispersed in large concentrations in a sea of various kinds of lipids. We have made molecular dynamic (MD) simulations of the system composed of cholesterols and phospholipids (the components of the living cell's membrane), localized near carbon nanotube. The mean square displacement, radial distribution function, angular and translational velocity autocorrelation functions of cholesterol molecule are presented and analyzed.
