@PeKosov A pleasure to collaborate with @PeKosov to develop this method. Looking forward to it's new exciting applications for molecular simulation!

The explicit bonding reaction ensemble Monte Carlo method pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/articl… Thanks @blancopm1 Important step towards modeling reversible bonds in coarse-grained models of polymers. Looking forward to its applications for simulating reversible gelation and hydrogen bonding.

🟤 We are happy to announce the first release of pyMBE, an open-source #Python package designed to facilitate the design of custom coarse-grained models of polyelectrolytes, peptides and proteins in ESPResSo More info: ➡️ multixscale.eu/2024/07/18/pym… @ICP_Stuttgart @blancopm1

@PeKosov @NTNUNaturalSci @EEANorwayGrants Actually it was 4! 😁 We had online guests from Spain, Slovenia, Brasil and Germany🌏

Yesterday we enjoyed a fruitful workshop at @NTNUNaturalSci with external participants from 3 other countries. Thanks to @EEANorwayGrants collaborative project with Rita Dias and @blancopm1 Today, we continued with internal discussions on joint projects.

Check out our latest simulation/experimental work with @blancopm1 and @PeKosov on complexation between short peptides and polymers: Charge Regulation Triggers Condensation of Short Oligopeptides to Polyelectrolytes [doi.org/10.1021/jacsau…].

Today, I had the opportunity to share our research at with colleagues at @NTNUNaturalSci during the Biophysics lunch seminar. Yesterday, students presented their projects at a minisymposium. Thanks @EEANorwayGrants for supporting our collaboration with @blancopm1 and Rita Dias

Unlock the power of pyMBE 🧬: a sophisticated molecule builder tailored for ESPResSo! ☕️ by @blancopm1, @beyer24a and team to model coarse-grained polymers and proteins with reactive sites for Monte Carlo simulations. # #pyMBE #ESPResSo doi.org/10.48550/arXiv…

New book chapter! Check out how ESPResSo enables soft matter simulations at different time- and length-scales with our latest contribution to Comprehensive Computational Chemistry doi.org/10.1016/B978-0…

Fundamental rights of scientists in Spain who worked with "scholarships" before 2011 have been violated by successive governments, which have not acted to restore their contributions to social security, in comparative grievance with current scientists and the rest of the workers!

Thank you for participating at ISP 2023 in Prague, we hope you have enjoyed the symposium as much as we did!

I am proud of my PhD student Sebastian Pineda winning the best lecture award at International symposium on Polyelectrolytes, @isp2023 Selected by votes of about 20 senior scientists participating at the meeting :-)

On Monday we enjoyed a pre-symposium workshop funded by @EEANorwayGrants where we discussed work in progress. In a dedicated session at the international symposium on polyelectrolytes @isp2023, our team members presented previously published research to a broader audience.

The ICP invites you to the 2023 ESPResSo summer school, taking place on Oct 9-13 2023 in Stuttgart. Attendance is free of charge. On-site participants are welcome to bring a poster and present it during the lightning talks. cecam.org/workshop-detai…

We are still accepting late contributions. Join us this summer in Prague #ISP2023
