M.U.F.O's (molecular unidentified floating objects) have FINALLY been identified as 5nm citrate capped gold nanoparticles adsorbing onto a supported lipid bilayer!. not aliens :( - read here for more about how #AFM and #MD sims can be combined to analyse AuNP "float" dynamics.

My supervisors @AaronElbourne, @VizProd and friends! :D Utilizing the AFM at full force ;) (not actually, as that would break the cantilever tip…) . See how to map the 3D interfacial nanostructure of an ionic liquid supported interface!.

Thanks!! @AaronElbourne for coming to support and @VizProd for organising this event!!. **Highlight of the day was seeing @drewberryIV - show off some beautiful molecular animations!! 😍. - (skip to 15:30 to see some awesome ATP synthesis!!) 🀟🀩.

I'm sure we are all familiar with the BBB. bears, beets and battlestar galactica. but the BBB (or blood brain barrier) poses a serious challange in the treatment of brain diseases. However, gold nanoparticles might just hold the solution!!

For all the molecular moonshiners out there. understanding methanol-water solution dynamics could mean the difference between life and death when making alcohol😡(DO NOT make alcohol at home lol) but if you are going to, plz read up on the properties of METHANOL and ETHANOL. .

Using polarizable models and some unique dipolar analysis from @QuinnBesford, we've found some interesting things about water-methanol mixtures. Link: @NCInews @ResearchRMIT

Bacterial enzymes are known to give rise to antimicrobial resistance mechanisms and they can also inhibit the efficacy of anti-cancer drugs! MD Sims can help us look at the active sites of these proteins to figure out how they function for the better design of therapeutics!! :).

Half-site reactivity is an elusive property of some proteins that we've just shed some light on in a recent publication. Plus I like sharing pretty pictures of proteins!. Link: @ResearchRMIT @NCInews

Chances are either you or someone you know will need a joint replacement at some point in their lives! And it needs to be replaced multiple times until you die. They can also get infected and kill you! Which is why it's important to have safe/durable antimicrobial prosthetics!.
