New preprint out! An improved coarse-grained elastic network model with Brownian Dynamics simulation to revel intermediate conformations of large protein systems: researchsquare.com/article/rs-650…

It is very sad to learn that Martin Karplus passed away on Dec 28 at age 94. He was a scholar and pioneering chemical physicist with great contributions in many areas including molecular dynamics. We interacted many times starting from my graduate time at Harvard. His legacy is reinforced by the large number of coworkers who have also done much to advance computational science.

Cryo-EM is a bit of an imaging miracle. We collect 2D images with stupid amounts of noise. We don’t know what we’re looking at, or from which way. Yet some how we can churn it over and get to see (actually see) how life works on molecular scales in 3D. How?

What happened when MIT stopped paying Elsevier? Not much except they are saving a lot of money. "MIT is interested in collaborating with other libraries to reinvest these funds in community-controlled open publishing initiatives..." sparcopen.org/our-work/big-d…

Tubulin vibration modes are in the subterahertz range & their electromagnetic absorption is affected by water: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… The modes are in the the subterahertz band (between ∼40 and ∼160 GHz) Important findings by the group of Michal Cifra (@mcer33) @BioED_IPE

🎉We are thrilled to announce that our latest MDS-paper, “#Tubulin Vibration Modes Are in the #Subterahertz Range, and Their #Electromagnetic Absorption Is Affected by Water,” authored by our experts @saurabhkpandey and @mcer33 , has been published! 📚👇 doi.org/10.1021/acs.jp…
