Check out our new paper!

Protein assembly in membranes is crucial yet elusive. Why steer when you can just observe? We introduce a bias-free simulation method that captures the full picture of transmembrane dimerization—free energies, mechanisms, and rates!

Free Energy, Rates, and Mechanism of Transmembrane Dimerization in Lipid Bilayers from Dynamically Unbiased Molecular Dynamics Simulations
The assembly of proteins in membranes plays a key role in many crucial cellular pathways. Despite their importance, characterizing transmembrane assembly remains challenging for experiments and simula...

Thanks for all the comments!

Here comes my "not so elegant but so far only" solution as a Christmas gift 🎄

1. Build correct structure with glycam.org
2. Reorder and rename atoms to fit CHARMM convention topology from Charmm-gui
3. Use topology & FF files from Charmm-gui with corrected structure

G-Protein-Coupled Receptor Surface Creates a Favorable Pathway for Membrane Permeation of Drug Molecules
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a crucial role in modulating physiological responses and serve as the main drug target. Specifically, salmeterol and salbutamol, which are used for the treatme...
