Sad news everyone. The transmembrane binding pocket of B2AR is also bitterly polarized.

I know a girl who. does MD.She sets an ionic strength. of point fifteen.But she don't use cations. you're used to seeing.She don't use alkalis or alkalines. 🎶She uses Maaaaaaaaaanganese🎶.

Starting my sabbatical tomorrow at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philly! Been planning it for a while and hard to believe its finally happening 😅Looking forward to meeting lots of new people at FCCC and the Philly area!.

This was a team effort over many years, but special congrats to @SamikBose2 for taking the lead!.

This is also a great demonstration of weighted ensemble methods! We show that our REVO method can consistently generate minutes-timescale unbinding pathways with microsecond-timescale trajectory ensembles, and all without using biasing forces that could pollute the TSEs.

We find many differences in the TSEs of these closely related ligands, but also some similarities in ligand internal degrees of freedom that can be useful for design.

But how robust is the ligand binding transition state? Can we apply TS info from one ligand to another? This is a key question for kinetics-oriented drug design!.

Long residence times are a key design goal of sEH inhibitors, and we've been using molecular simulation to get information about ligand binding pathways, particularly the *transition state*: the rate-limiting step for binding and unbinding paths. (e.g. ).

Ligand (un)binding kinetics is being recognized as a determinant of drug specificity and efficacy in an increasing number of systems. However, the calculation of kinetics and the simulation of drug...

We have a 🚨new preprint🚨 out now examining ligand binding transition states for a set of five inhibitors of sEH!

So do we call it "striking" instead of "tweeting"?

Trying to work on some libtorch (c++) code, and there appears to be almost no documentation for libtorch functions. Am I missing something?
