The C36 CHARMM lipid force field has been extended to include sphingolipids, via
a combination of high-level quantum mechanical calculations on small molecule
fragments, and validation by extensive molecular dynamics simulations on
N-palmitoyl and N-stearoyl sphingomyelin. NMR data on these two molecules from
several studies in bilayers and micelles played a strong role in the development
and testing of the force field parameters. Most previous force fields for
sphingomyelins were developed before the availability of the detailed NMR data
and relied on x-ray diffraction of bilayers alone for the validation; these are
shown to be too dense in the bilayer plane based on published chain order
parameter data from simulations and experiments. The present simulations reveal
O-H:::O-P intralipid hydrogen bonding occurs 99% of the time, and interlipid
N-H:::O=C (26-29%, depending on the lipid) and N-H:::O-H (17-19%). The interlipid
hydrogen bonds are long lived, showing decay times of 50 ns, and forming strings
of lipids, and leading to reorientational correlation time of nearly 100 ns. The
spontaneous radius of curvature for pure N-palmitoyl sphingomyelin bilayers is
estimated to be 43-100 Å, depending on the assumptions made in assigning a
bending constant; this unusual positive curvature for a two-tailed neutral lipid
is likely associated with hydrogen bond networks involving the NH of the
sphingosine group.
