1 Supporting Informati for Origin of /f noise in hydrati dynamics lipid membrane surfaces Eiji Yamamoto, Takuma kimoto, Masato Yasui, 2 and Kenji Yasuoka Department of Mechanical Engineering, Keio University, Yokohama, Japan 2 Department of Pharmacology, School of Medicine, Keio University, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan dditial molecular dynamics simulatis Molecular dynamics (MD) simulatis of pure palmitoyl-oleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (POPE) and POP/palmitoyl-oleoyl phosphatidylserine (POPS) bilayers were performed to clarify the universality of the hydrati dynamics the lipid membrane surfaces. The HRMM36 [] force field was used for the lipids. The lipid bilayer systems of pure POPE lipids csisted of 28 lipids (64 for each leaflet) and 7,680 TIP3P water molecules. The POP/POPS (4:) lipid system of 0 POP lipids and 28 POPS lipids was solvated with 7552 TIP3P water molecules, and Nal is at 50 mm ccentrati were added to neutralize the system. The simulati cditis were the same as that in the main text. To cfirm the universality of results, we changed water models, force fields, thermostat, and barostat. We performed a.4 µs MD simulati of the membrane system which has 28 POP molecules and 7823 SP water molecules [2] using GROMS software [3]. The GROMOS96 53a6 force field [4], which is a united-atom model, was used for the POP lipid. The pressure of bar and a temperature of 3 K were ctrolled using the Parrinello-Rahman barostat [5] and velocity rescaling method [6] with a coupling time of ps and 0. ps, respectively. The lengths of bds involving the hydrogen atoms were cstrained to equilibrium lengths using the LINS method [7]. The time step was set at 2 fs. The particle-mesh Ewald method was used for lg-range electrostatic interactis. cut- distance of nm was used for the van der Waals interactis. [] Klauda, J.. et al.
