Abstract
Computer simulation studies were used to examine the interactions between boron nitride nanotube and lipids (cholesterol and phospholipid). The nanotube was surrounded by ultrathin film formed by molecules. The studies were performed for a wide range of temperatures, beginning from 260 K up to 360 K and including physiological one. The dynamics of lipids surrounding the nanotube is discussed by analyzing observables, such as mean square displacement and diffusion coefficient. The simulations were performed in water environment and for anhydrous systems. Moreover, the comparison between heterogeneous (boron nitride) and homogeneous (carbon) nanotubes is provided.
