A new preprint on lipid dynamics in MD simulations! Initially planned as a multidisciplinary work with @SChiantia, we eventually split it into 2 manuscripts: Computational part (out today): doi.org/10.1101/2024.09.12.6… Experimental part (also fairly fresh!): doi.org/10.1101/2024.04.26.5…

If you have any doubts about the importance of lipid structure, here’s a good smack in the face
A very interesting work on acyl tail saturation, hypoxia, and how this impacts nucleus! nature.com/articles/s41556-0…

Really? Now with a NIR co-illumination, you can reduce photobleaching effects of FPs in ~1.5–9.2-fold, as well as the associated phototoxicity. doi.org/10.1038/s41587-023-0…

Lipid packing, protein dynamics and inner-leaflet surface charge of the plasma membrane are significantly altered during infection by Influenza A virus. We would be very thankful about feedback on this preprint manuscript.

Think lipids and phases are cool? What about coupling between protein and lipid phase separation from @HY12566255 ? Or supercooled lipid droplets from @Rachid_Thiam? Save time reading and check out the ASBMB Seminar Series next Wednesday at noon NYC asbmb.org/meetings-events/lr…
