Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to understand the adsorption of positive-charged lysozyme onto negative-charged polyvinylidene fluoride membrane at three pH and two ionic strengths. The lysozyme was initialized at six orientations at 10 Å from the membrane and adsorption was deemed to...
