The Martini model, a coarse‐grained force field for molecular dynamics simulations, has
been around for nearly two decades. Originally developed for lipid‐based systems by the …

Biological membranes exhibit diversity in their shapes and complexity in chemical
compositions that are linked to many cellular functions. These two central features of …

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an immensely well-studied metabolite serving multiple key
biochemical roles as the major chemical energy currency in living systems, a building block …

A growing number of monogenic immune-mediated diseases have been related to genes
involved in pathways of actin cytoskeleton remodeling. Increasing evidences associate …

Coarse-grained (CG) protein models have become indispensable tools for studying many
biological protein details, from conformational dynamics to the organization of protein macro …

Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) have gained great popularity as mimicries for cellular
membranes. As their sizes are comfortably above the optical resolution limit, and their lipid …

Molecular dynamics simulations of cellular membranes have come a long way—from simple
model lipid bilayers to multicomponent systems capturing the crowded and complex nature …

One of the major challenges of bottom-up synthetic biology is rebuilding a minimal cell
division machinery. From a reconstitution perspective, the animal cell division apparatus is …

In molecular simulations, periodic boundary conditions are typically used to avoid surface
effects occurring at the boundaries of the simulation box. A consequence of this is that …

Phase separation of multicomponent lipid membranes is characterized by the nucleation
and coarsening of circular membrane domains that grow slowly in time as∼ t 1/3, following …
