Abstract
We have performed a series of computer simulations to examine the interaction between carbon nanotube and nascent high-density lipoprotein. Carbon nanotube was pushed into the lipoprotein by means of steered molecular dynamics simulations. The force and work required for this operation were estimated. The obtained results suggest that the carbon nanotubes might be utilized as nanochannels to insert or extract molecules from lipoproteins.
