Molecular dynamic simulations of water permeation through phospholipids membranes in the presence of sugars: The aim of this study is to investigate, using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, the detailed mechanism of sugar bilayer membrane interactions as well as the membrane water permeation in the presence of sugar molecules. In these simulations the trajectory of all atoms in the system is tracked by integration of the Newton's equations of motion. Using these trajectories and by employing statistical mechanics we can determine various properties of interest.
