Sequence-specific protein–DNA interactions are crucial in processes such as DNA organization, gene regulation and DNA replication. Thor van Heesch, Peter Bolhuis and Jocelyne Vreede have developed a molecular simulation approach to quantify the sequence specificity of protein–DNA complexes, that yields results fast, and is generally applicable to any protein–DNA complex. The approach is based on molecular […]

Read moreThe new Research Priority Area in Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Molecules and Materials (AI4SMM) aims to produce “breakthroughs in sustainable innovation with AI and computational methods for molecules and materials to aid in realising the materials transition needed for a sustainable society“. Last winter, AI4SMM opened a call to fund four interdisciplinary 2-year postdoctoral fellowships. […]
Read moreOur collaborative paper with the Frankfurt groups lead by Robert Covino and Gerhard Hummer just appeared in Nature Computational Science. Arjun and Peter Bolhuis contributed with their modelling expertise in methane-hydrate nucleation and crystallisation. They were able to show that, for the first time, an algorithm can automatically learn the essence about a switch from […]
