Abstract
A dipole lattice model for lipid membranes and their interactions with pept ides is presented. It uses the Langevin dipole method to calculate electros tatic interactions in the heterogeneous membrane environment. A series of t est cases are presented, including spherical charges, dipoles, side chain a nalogs, and helical peptides. The model consistently produces qualitatively correct results.
