The framework is generic and can potentially be extended for efficient in-silico investigations of membrane-bound polypeptides and proteins using DPD simulations.

[K G Ayappa Lab @ayappa_lab]

We have developed a generic and robust forcefield for proteins in DPD (Dissipative Particle Dynamics) framework. Read our recent publication in @softmatter:
