Our recent study on "Coacervation-Induced Remodeling of Nanovesicles".
With the help of coarse-grained MD simulations, we aimed to understand the key players behind several recent experimental observations.

In 2023, we published this article on our ufedmm branch of openMM implementing enhanced sampling techniques: https://t.co/O4xQFGYpgv . We are now organizing a tutorial for late August on how to use these tools. If you're interested, please apply here: https://t.co/IAywYgig1J

Great news for the IDP/LLPS community :D

In the 1940s, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was committed to his teaching role at the University of Chicago, despite being based at the Yerkes Observatory. Each week, he traveled 80 miles to teach a special course attended by only two students.

The students were Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Yang. They proved their mentor's faith was well-placed when they both won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957, years before Chandrasekhar received the same honor in 1983. Remarkably, this course went down in history as the only one where every attendee received a Nobel Prize, underscoring the extraordinary impact of Chandrasekhar's dedication and teaching.

@PujaMajumder91 @MarraffiniLab @ChristianF_Baca Congratulations 🎊

[Sayantan Mondal @Sayantan0510]

Glad to be a part of this wonderful collaboration with @nikunj_iitm, Emma, Ed, and QC.
Here we demonstrated how LLPS of Synaptotagmin-1 linker can regulate its calcium ion sensitivity.

@MaheswataMohar1 Great to know that @MaheswataMohar1

And all the best with your research 😊

Bohemian rhapsody for postdocs:

Is this a real job?
Or more like a PhD?
Caught in short contracts
No chance of stability

Open your eyes
Look up to PIs and see
I'm just a postdoc
I get no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Stress is high
Pay is low

[Sayantan Mondal @Sayantan0510]

Interesting!

[Siewert-Jan Marrink @CG_Martini]

The group of Matysiak has developed a Martini variant for foldable proteins ! Nice work: https://t.co/eV0xjjIBvx

The coarse-grained simulations in this paper provide insights into the alteration of structure and morphology of poly-electrolytes in the presence of lipid bilayers.

Lovely #compchem work!

@A_Aspuru_Guzik Reminded me of the movie, "the minority report".

[Siewert-Jan Marrink @CG_Martini]

Not to be missed for Martini aficionados: we wrote a perspective on twenty years of Martini development, describing the history, state-of-the art, and examples of diverse application areas. Enjoy !
