The structure and dynamics of a truncated (residues 82-136) caveolin-1 (Cav1) construct having a helix-break-helix motif are explored by both all-atom free energy and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in an explicit bilayer membrane. Two stable Cav1 conformations with small (LB-Cav1) and large hinge angles (RB-Cav1) between two helices are identified although their relative free energy cannot be reliably estimated due to the sampling issues. RB-Cav1s contain one or two lipids residing between ...[more]
