So pleased this is finally out! Wonderful work by the incredibly talented @ma3ke.bsky.social and @janstevens.bsky.social to generate densely packed systems, even with complex topologies

Go to the paper for cool science, stay for the mesmerizing figures 🤩

Model of mitochondrial compartments. The assembly of the mitochondrial model based on an experimentally informed membrane structure (white), from an empty structure (left) into a mask representation of the IMS (yellow) and matrix (pink) compartments represented by 3 nm voxels. Structures are packed into their assigned compartments based on the mask. In the last section and the magnified inset, structures are colored by kind: Proteins (green), RNA (dark blue), metabolites (pale blue).

My little outlook on how our lungs 🫁 are like the sea 🌊 is finally out in Central Science. Thanks to the support from incredible mentors @rommieamaro.bsky.social and @kprather.bsky.social !!

One thing I noticed yesterday is that her long balls out from the area seemed to have less backspin than I've seen in previous games. Is there anything to back that up/could that explain some of the improvement?

The Martini 3 Lipidome: Expanded and Refined Parameters Improve Lipid Phase Behavior Lipid membranes are central to cellular life. Complementing experiments, computational modeling has been essential in unraveling complex lipid-biomolecule interactions, crucial in both academia and industry. The Martini model, a coarse-grained force field for efficient molecular dynamics simulations, is widely used to study membrane phenomena but has faced limitations, particularly in capturing realistic lipid phase behavior. Here, we present refined Martini 3 lipid models with a mapping scheme that distinguishes lipid tails that differ by just two carbon atoms, enhancing the structural resolution and thermodynamic accuracy of model membrane systems including ternary mixtures. The expanded Martini lipid library includes thousands of models, enabling simulations of complex and biologically relevant systems. These advancements establish Martini as a robust platform for lipid-based simulations across diverse fields.

Our collaborative work "The #Martini3 #Lipidome: Expanded and Refined Parameters Improve Lipid Phase Behavior" is now published in #ACSCentralScience! 🎉

Thanks v much Adrien!

Happy that MartiniGlass has found a home in JCIM. I hope the tool will be useful for everyone in the user community, whether you’re trying to make nice coherent images of your system, or just make sense of instabilities!

We’re so back

Agreed with you on this before and happy to do so again! If you haven't already read it, would definitely recommend Dinner with Lenny by Jonathan Cott for a more interesting perspective on his life.

Why did the Little/Wälti substitution make such a difference this time when it’s usually so reliable?
