Background:

Understanding plasma membrane lateral organization is crucial but challenging.
Coarse-grained (CG) Martini force field models ternary membranes effectively.
All-atom (AA) models struggle with slow dynamics for membrane phase separation.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate ternary membrane phase separation using a novel hybrid method.
To overcome the slow dynamics limitations of all-atom simulations.
To explore the lateral organization of lipid-cholesterol mixtures.

Main Methods:

Application of the virtual site (VS) hybrid method.
Coupling of CG and AA force fields for membrane simulation.
Simulation of ternary membranes with saturated lipids, unsaturated lipids, and cholesterol.

Main Results:

The VS hybrid method successfully achieved rapid phase separation.
The CG leaflet's rapid separation accelerated and guided the AA leaflet's separation.
Demonstrated feasibility of studying membrane dynamics with combined resolutions.

Conclusions:

The virtual site hybrid method is effective for simulating membrane phase separation.
This approach significantly speeds up the simulation of lipid domain formation.
Provides a more efficient pathway to study complex plasma membrane organization.
