Abstract
Specific molecular interactions regulate cellular signaling cascades for proper function and in the presence of disease. One of the major challenges of current drug therapies is drug-resistance development. Molecular-level understanding of mechanisms of disease can enable better design of therapeutics. Molecular dynamics simulations can be a powerful tool to study the dynamics of a system based on the physical and thermodynamic forces that govern it. Here we provide insights from long all-atom simulation trajectories of protein-lipid interactions at the plasma membrane (PM) interface that are key for the execution of necroptosis - a caspase-independent form of programmed cell death.
