Adsorption-driven deformation and landing-footprints of the RBD proteins in SARS-CoV-2 variants onto biological and inanimate surfaces

This study examines how RBD mutations in SARS-CoV-2 affect adsorption to hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces, revealing structural deformations and distinct landing-footprints.

RNA multiscale simulations as an interplay of electrostatic, mechanical properties, and structures inside viruses

This paper reviews multiscale simulation methods for studying RNA structure and function, focusing on electrostatic, mechanical properties, and interactions within viral systems.

Single chain models illustrate the 3D RNA folding shape during translation

The paper develops a simulation method to model 3D RNA folding during translation, showing that single-chain polymer characteristics, not base-pairing, mainly influence mRNA conformation.

RNA secondary structure regulates fragments' adsorption onto flat substrates

This study investigates how RNA secondary structures affect adsorption onto flat substrates using multiscale simulations and identifies a dual adsorption regime based on surface interaction strength.

Characterization of structural and energetic differences between conformations of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

The paper characterizes structural and energetic differences in SARS-CoV-2 spike protein conformations to identify potential drug targets beyond the ACE2-binding RBD.
