Christians L, Halingstad E, Kram E, Okolovitch E, Pak A
J Phys Chem B . 2024 Feb; 128(6):1394-1406. PMID: 38316012
Molecular simulations of biomacromolecules that assemble into multimeric complexes remain a challenge due to computationally inaccessible length and time scales. Low-resolution and implicit-solvent coarse-grained modeling approaches using traditional nonbonded interactions...

Britton D, Christians L, Liu C, Legocki J, Xiao Y, Meleties M, et al.
Biomacromolecules . 2023 Dec; 25(1):258-271. PMID: 38110299
Protein hydrogels represent an important and growing biomaterial for a multitude of applications, including diagnostics and drug delivery. We have previously explored the ability to engineer the thermoresponsive supramolecular assembly...
