Excited to share my first paper with my supervisor Alexei Kornyshev in collaboration with Teif Lab, published with Royal Society Publishing: Nucleosome-induced homology recognition in chromatin | Journal of The Royal Society Interface royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.109…

Researchers from Imperial College London & School of Life Sciences, University of Essex show that distance recognition of homologous genes may occur without histone removal from DNA: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… #Interface

Enjoy our new official lab photo:) P.S. The painting on the wall features a recent article by Jonathan Hedley (royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/abs/10.109…)

Proud of my housemate for her first paper - here’s to many more 🎉

Excited to share our feature article published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry C! We show an analysis of short-range correlations in water which reveals their dramatic effects on hydration forces and double layer structure. #waterstructurematters Imperial Chemistry Imperial Sciences pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Check out the latest (free to read) Feature article in JPCC The Journal of Physical Chemistry on the structure of water in electrical double layers Jonathan Hedley Imperial College London pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Short-range correlations in water are often neglected in the theory of electrolytes. They are included in a tractable Landau-Ginzburg formalism & show their dramatic effects on the hydration force profile & double layer structure. #waterstructurematters go.acs.org/5ik

I'm happy to share the first of three papers from my PhD investigating the complex electrostatics around DNA, and how structured water (with nonlocal Lorentzian dielectric response) may facilitate sequence recognition in DNA. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108… IOP Publishing Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter

In the second of this series of three papers on the electrostatic interactions of DNA, the interplay between the nonlocal overscreening dielectric response of water and structural fluctuations of DNA are investigated. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Elsevier Physics

A theoretical analysis of the complex electric field around DNA uncovers the origin of oscillating field patterns and sheds light on the role of the solvent that surrounds the DNA. Read go.aps.org/47hR1Bn Jonathan Hedley Kush Coshic AksimentievLab #PRXBio, #PRXChem

The variation of the electric field around a DNA duplex is surprisingly complex. Now, a nonlocal electrostatic theory can explain most of the features seen in all-atom MD simulations. Many thanks to Alexei Kornyshev, Jonathan Hedley Kush Coshic and The Leverhulme Trust
