This study examines how mutations in SARS-CoV-2 variants affect the force-stability of the SARS-CoV-2:ACE2 interface and virus transmissibility.

This study uses machine learning to identify antimicrobial peptides from modern and extinct human proteins, demonstrating their activity and potential for antibiotic discovery.

The paper bridges the gap between in vitro and in silico single-molecule force spectroscopy by combining coarse-grained and all-atom SMD simulations with DHS theory.

This paper introduces an enhanced dynamical network analysis method for identifying allosteric communications in molecular dynamics trajectories, applied to large biomolecular systems.

The paper shows gut bacteria convert cortisol into 20-dihydrocortisol, a distinct host signalling molecule that reprograms colonic transcription and activates inflammatory pathways via NR4A3.
