abstract = {Binding forces between biomolecules are ubiquitous in
nature but sometimes as weak as a few pico-Newtons (pN). In
many cases, the binding partners are attached to
biomembranes with the help of a lipid anchor. One important
example are glycolipids that promote membrane adhesion
through weak carbohydrate–carbohydrate binding between
adjacent membranes. Here, we use molecular dynamics (MD)
simulations to quantify the forces generated by bonds
involving membrane-anchored molecules. We introduce a method
in which the protrusion of the lipid anchors from the
membrane acts as the force sensor. Our results with two
different glycolipids reveal binding forces of up to 20 pN
and corroborate the recent notion that
carbohydrate–carbohydrate interactions are generic rather
than specific.},
