Happy to share that our perspective on whole-cell modelling using #Martini is out in @FrontChemistry! To showcase the capabilities of the #Martini ecosystem, we build a model of an entire cell with near atomistic resolution. #ComputationalMicroscopy doi.org/10.3389/fchem.2023.1…

DNA plectonemes are intertwined loops which form when a single DNA molecule is stretched and twisted. Plectonemes are found in bacterial and eukaryotic cells and play important role in several biochemical processes as gene expression etc... 1/5 arxiv.org/abs/2410.23145

On the way to #ACSFall2024. Looking forward to meeting friends and making new ones. On Thursday (4110400) I will present our (@ricalessandri, @JanAdStevens, @SouzaPauloCT) advances on #polyplyMD for macromolecule modeling. Drop me a DM for anything #Martini3 you wann talk about.

I have been working like absolute crazy over the past two months for this - #MolecularNodes 4.2 is now released for #b3d 4.2 A huge number of new features - which I will cover some here. - Selections using @mdanalysis selection language are updated live.

I wrote a piece for this issue of Microbiology Today! I got to reflect on the rise of AI and what we need to consider going forward 🖥️ You can check it out here 👇
In The Promise and Perils of Generative AI article, @chelseabrowncg discusses AI's benefits and pitfalls. Brown also warns that while AI helps with understanding biological data, it can be biased and potentially harmful - microb.io/45h3Jj8 #MicrobiologyToday

I’m thrilled to be able to announce that we were granted a NWO Summit grant entitled ‘Evolving Life from Nonlife’ (EVOLF) with 40 million euro for a 10-year project aimed to cross the gap between non-life and life by assembling a living synthetic cell from lifeless biomolecules!

New preprint from a nice collaboration between the @IpbsToulouse Integrative Biological NMR team and my lab ( LMGM @CbiToulouse ): "Coarse-graining the recognition of a glycolipid by the C-type lectin Mincle receptor " spearheaded by @noriegamaxime biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Hello, my absolutely lovely membrane peeps! Would you maybe, pretty-please, let me proudly steer you to a MINI-REVIEW I recently wrote? It’s on asymmetric membranes in general, and differential stress in particular—subjects that I am massively interested in right now! 1/26

Great to see this review paper out! 🥳 I had a lot of fun helping with this, the first paper from my time here in Groningen! Check it out here 👇
Why not include the rest of the cell in your next membrane simulation ? Check our current opinion on "Modeling membranes in situ" sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
