version 2.0.0-alpha-2

Browse, search and compare atomistic MD simulations and experimental data of lipid membranes from the FAIRMD Lipids Databank.


Simulations are scored by the rank product (10.1016/j.febslet.2004.07.055) of their agreement with NMR order parameters and X-ray form factors — two independent experimental observables. Lower rank product = better overall quality.

Try: POPC, POPC:POPE, or full lipid names. Search by trajectory ID (ID123) or DOI (DOI:10.1021/…).

About FAIRMD Lipids Databank


What is FAIRMD Lipids Databank?

FAIRMD Lipids Databank is a community-driven catalogue containing atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of biologically relevant lipid membranes emerging from the NMRlipids open collaboration. It improves the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse (FAIR) of MD simulation data using an overlay databank structure described in the databank publication. See the online documentation for full details.

✦ Contribute to the Databank

FAIRMD Lipids Databank grows through community contributions. You can add your simulation and experimental data, report issues, or help improve the codebase.
