Generating input files and realistic starting coordinates for complex multi-component simulations is often a major bottleneck, especially for high throughput protocols. To eliminate this bottleneck, we present the polyply software suite that provides 1) a multi-scale graph matching algorithm designed to generate parameters quickly and for arbitrarily complex polymeric topologies, and 2) a generic multi-scale random walk protocol capable of setting up complex systems efficiently and independent of the target force-field or model resolution.
We demonstrate the power of polyply by setting up a number of complex systems, including a liquid-liquid phase separated polymer system inside a lipid vesicle. For details, see Grünewald et al., Nature Commun. 2022.
A good start of the new year: Our paper on how to parameterise small molecules with Martini 3 is now published !
Martini-based simulations capture the spontaneous binding of beta-arrestin2 to beta2-adrenergic receptor in a similar pose as the crystallographically resolved structure of rhodopsin/arresin-1. Cool !
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are a more environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and recyclable alternative for ionic liquids. Since the number of possible deep eutectic solvents is very large, there are needs for effective methods to predict the physicochemical nature of possible new deep eutectic solvents that are not met by the currently available models.
