Figure Lengend Snippet: Autocorrelation analysis of sterol tilt dynamics in POPC membranes, Autocorrelation functions of the sterol tilt angles in membranes in the presence and absence of natamycin were fitted with a stretched exponential function, as described in Materials and methods. Both, the time-averaged and ensemble-averaged correlation times were determined.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Position of the center of mass as a function of the simulation time of favipiravir ( left ) and remdesivir ( right ) molecules in a pure POPC ( top ) and POPC:Cholesterol ( bottom ) for both concentration systems with the inhibitor molecules initially in the aqueous phase and lipid phase, as indicated. Regions between phospholipidic polar head groups are shaded in gray. Each different colored line in each plot represents the course of one inhibitory molecule during the simulation time scale of one replica (400 ns simulation production). The other two replicas are presented in the .

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Orientation of favipiravir with respect to the bilayer normal in the POPC ( c ) and POPC:Cholesterol ( d ) membranes. Zero degrees means that the O group points towards hydrophilic heads; ( b ) orientation of the different regions of remdesivir, as defined in . Three different vectors as described in the figure are used for proper description.
