Great job opportunity here..!

Dheeraj Prakaash and Astrid Brandner paper on two new reLPS models for Martini is out. Our Martini2 model of ReLPS has accelerated kinetics, which in part overcomes the timescale issues of working with LPS. The second is a Martini3 model (normal kinetics). pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Huge congrats to Dr Aphroditi Zaki on her work appearing in PNAS ! - Plasticity of the selectivity filter is essential for permeation in lysosomal TPC2 channels - pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…

In this work, MD reveals a new filter conformation not (yet) seen in cryo-EM of TPC2 channels that conducts sodium ions in good agreement with experiments done by Taufiq Rahman. Very nice collab also with Sandip Patel at UCL. Department of Biochemistry at Oxford University

It’s with great sadness to report that Prof Brendan Howlin, University of Surrey passed away on 5th August. Brendan had been the treasurer of MGMS for the past 6 years. He would be sorely missed as a colleague and a friend. search.app/DcePFJbEwq3owL…
