Pulmonary surfactant is a critical component of lung function in healthy individuals. It
functions in part by lowering surface tension in the alveoli, thereby allowing for breathing …

Over the last few years, coarse-grained molecular dynamics has emerged as a way to model
large and complex systems in an efficient and inexpensive manner due to its lowered …

The Martini model, a coarse-grained force field for biomolecular simulations, has found a
broad range of applications since its release a decade ago. Based on a building block …

The Martini coarse-grained force field has been successfully used for simulating a wide
range of (bio) molecular systems. Recent progress in our ability to test the model against …

In the last couple of decades, ultrasound-driven microbubbles have proven excellent
candidates for local drug delivery applications. Besides being useful drug carriers …

Liquid–fluid interfaces provide a platform both for structuring liquids into complex shapes
and assembling dimensionally confined, functional nanomaterials. Historically, attention in …

Human cornea is covered by an aqueous tear film, and the outermost layer of the tear film is
coated by lipids. This so-called tear film lipid layer (TFLL) reduces surface tension of the tear …

Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that covers a vast and diverse array of devices
and machines derived from engineering, physics, materials science, chemistry and biology …

We present an extension of the Martini coarse-grained force field to carbohydrates. The
parametrization follows the same philosophy as was used previously for lipids and proteins …

A coarse-grained (CG) model for polyethylene oxide (PEO) and polyethylene glycol (PEG)
developed within the framework of the MARTINI CG force field (FF) using the distributions of …
