The Vanni lab performed a critical assessment on the performance of Martini 3 to model binding of peripheral proteins to membranes. Conclusion in short: Martini is "mostly able to correctly characterize the membrane binding behavior of peripheral proteins, and to identify key residues found to disrupt membrane binding in mutagenesis experiments", and "While preliminary, our investigations suggest that transferable chemical-specific CG force fields have enormous potential in the characterization of the membrane binding process by peripheral proteins, and that the identification of negative results could help drive future force field development efforts". Not bad at all ! For more details, see the full publication.

New Martini tools are popping up like snails in my backyard, with the difference that the tools are welcome additions whereas the snails are not.
Check these papers for an updated backmapping tool from the Stansfeld group, and a brand new ATB from Miller and coworkers.
Martini workshop 2021

The Martini workshop was a great success - thanks to all who contributed to the meeting. The gather town setting made us feel like we were actually interacting with each other, and the cocktails at the bar almost tasted real. We are already thinking about another such meeting during winter time, but of course hope to welcome you in Groningen for an onsite meeting in due time !
