Cell membranes contain a large variety of lipid types and are crowded with proteins, endowing them with the plasticity needed to fulfill their key roles in cell functioning. The …
The weighted ensemble (WE) strategy has been demonstrated to be highly efficient in generating pathways and rate constants for rare events such as protein folding and protein …

Cationic agents, such as ionic liquids (ILs)-based species, have broad-spectrum antibacterial activities. However, the antibacterial mechanisms lack systematic and …
For simulations of membranes and membrane proteins, the generation of the lipid bilayer is a critical step in the setup of the system. Membranes comprising multiple components pose …

Molecular dynamics simulations require barostats to be performed at a constant pressure. The usual recipe is to employ the Berendsen barostat first, which displays a first-order …
The cellular membrane constitutes one of the most fundamental compartments of a living cell, where key processes such as selective transport of material and exchange of …
Coarse-grained molecular dynamics provides a means for simulating the assembly and interactions of macromolecular complexes at a reduced level of representation, thereby …
