This paper introduces i-Bind, a nanoparticle strategy that hitchhikes on red blood cells in situ to enhance lung targeting and immune reprogramming in mice.

This paper reparameterizes RNA force fields by replacing hydrogen-bond corrections with Lennard-Jones modifications, improving simulation accuracy without external potentials.

This study evaluates enhanced sampling methods for RNA force field benchmarking using an 8-mer tetraloop, finding T-REMD most robust for accurate folding free energy estimates.

This study compares OPC and TIP4PD water models in simulating structured RNAs, finding they destabilize RNA structures compared to three-point water models.

This paper evaluates RNA force fields by testing their ability to simulate the kink-turn motif, finding that some perform better than others in capturing its structural features.

This study evaluates RNA force fields using MD simulations of UUCG tetraloops, finding that some recent variants better preserve native structures but still show discrepancies in folding free energy estimates.

The paper introduces IDA, a database for storing and integrating MD simulation data, force fields, and experimental measurements to enhance data reuse and FAIR compliance.

This study benchmarks force-field performance for DNA/RNA hybrid duplexes, finding no force field accurately reproduces all structural features and highlighting parameter conflicts.
