Cyclic peptides permeating through a lipid bilayer

Caption

The simulations conducted in this study reveal important details of the mechanisms by which cyclic peptides diffuse into cells. The scatter plot on the top left shows the correlation between the electrostatic interaction (horizontal axis) and the predicted value of membrane permeability (vertical axis). The scatter plot on the right shows the correlation between the experimental value of membrane permeability (horizontal axis) and the value predicted by the proposed method (vertical axis).
