Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are a class of stimuli-responsive biopolymers inspired by
the intrinsically disordered domains of tropoelastin that are composed of repeats of the …

This is a review. Non-electrolytic compounds typically cross cell membranes by passive
diffusion. The rate of permeation is dependent on the chemical properties of the solute and …

A software framework is introduced that facilitates the application of biasing algorithms to
collective variables of the type commonly employed to drive massively parallel molecular …

The protein elastin imparts extensibility, elastic recoil, and resilience to tissues including
arterial walls, skin, lung alveoli, and the uterus. Elastin and elastin-like peptides are …

Proteins are fascinating supramolecular structures, which are able to recognize ligands
transforming binding information into chemical signals. They can transfer information across …

Nanoparticles are promising drug delivery systems whose selection and optimization can be
gainfully conducted by theoretical methods. This review is targeted to experimentalists who …

Free energy simulations are a powerful tool for evaluating the interactions of molecular
solutes with lipid bilayers as mimetics of cellular membranes. However, these simulations …

Cell membranes protect and compartmentalise cells and their organelles. The semi‐
permeable nature of these membranes controls the exchange of solutes across their …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can describe protein motions in atomic detail, but
transitions between protein conformational states sometimes take place on time scales that …

An emerging class of disordered proteins underlies the elasticity of many biological tissues.
Elastomeric proteins are essential to the function of biological machinery as diverse as the …
