英文摘要A bilayer structure is an important immediate for the vesicle formation. However, the mechanism for the bilayer-vesicle transition remains unclear. In this work, a dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation method was employed to study the mechanism of the bilayer-vesicle transition. A coarse-grained model was built based on a lipid molecule termed dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC). Simulations were performed from two different initial configurations: a random dispersed solution and a tensionless bilayer. It was found that the bilayer-vesicle transition was driven by the minimization of the water-tail hydrophobic interaction energy, and was accompanied with the increase of the position entropy due to the redistribution of water molecules. The bulk pressure was reduced during the bilayer-vesicle transition, suggesting the evolved vesicle morphology was at the relatively low free energy state. The membrane in the product vesicle was a two-dimensional fluid. It can be concluded that the membrane of a vesicle is not interdigitated and most of the bonds in lipid chains are inclined to orient along the radical axis of the vesicle.
