Congrats, Thomas! Awesome!

Awesome!

Always nice to collaborate with AdaCavalcanti and great work, Sunnatullo Fazliev!

Our oxDNA and oxRNA /oxRNA models are still not fast enough to capture the timescales of bulk self assembly or large nanostructure folding.A new model (ANNaMO) developed with F.Guerra,Lorenzo Rovigatti,floppleton.bsky.social is a step towards more coarse representations of DNA/RNA

In a study led by Filip Boskovic we examined how the electrophoretic transport of RNA:DNA and DNA through nanopores depends on the contour length rather than the number of base pairs. Nice blend of experiments and simulations! AksimentievLab ACS Nano 🧬🕳️⚛️ Cambridge University

Have you ever wondered how *natural* lipids got selected from the “mess” generated by prebiotic chemistry? Read our new preprint to find out! Spoiler alert: the selection process is metal-driven! Kudos to 1st year PhD Krishna and all coauthors!

Our new paper in Angewandte Chemie on ultralong flippers drives mechanosensitive photophysics to the extreme and shows why precise topological matching on the single leaflet level matters most for operational probes in membranes

Our new paper 'Inverse design of a pyrochlore lattice of DNA origami through model-driven experiments' is just out in Science Magazine ! We use multiscale modeling and optimization theory to realize one of the main goals of colloidal self-assembly, the pyrochlore lattice.🧵1/7:
