LNP-endosome siRNA translocation: umbrella sampling with constant-pH MD, window 6.8

All-atom (CHARMM36) system of a HER2-siRNA lipid nanoparticle (DLin-MC3-DMA, DSPC, cholesterol) fused with an endosomal-like membrane through a stalk, in water with 100 mM KCl. Umbrella sampling window (directory 6.8) along the LNP–RNA distance coordinate combined with constant-pH MD (lambda dynamics of the ionizable MC3 lipids at pH 6.5), to relate siRNA translocation to MC3 protonation (Figure 4B and Fig. S18 of the paper). Trajectory without solvent.
