Equilibrated atomistic MD simulation snapshots of heparin in complex with the self-assembled dendrimer C16G0 (a), C16SPD (b), and C16SPM (c). In all panels, heparin is in a red sphere representation, while the self-assembled dendrimer micelles are represented in colored spheres, as follows: (a) C16, light gray; G0, plum; (b) C16, lime green; SPD, forest green; (c) C16, steel blue; SPM, navy blue. Hydrogen atoms, water molecules, ions and counterions are omitted for clarity. Adapted from [22] with the permission of The Royal Society of Chemistry.
