Cell membranes contain a large variety of lipid types and are crowded with proteins,
endowing them with the plasticity needed to fulfill their key roles in cell functioning. The …

Biological membranes are tricky to investigate. They are complex in terms of molecular
composition and structure, functional over a wide range of time scales, and characterized by …

T cells are critically important for host defense against infections. T cell activation is specific
because signal initiation requires T cell receptor (TCR) recognition of foreign antigen …

Protein conformational fluctuations are highly complex and exhibit long-term correlations.
Here, molecular dynamics simulations of small proteins demonstrate that these …

Single-particle traces of the diffusive motion of molecules, cells, or animals are by now
routinely measured, similar to stochastic records of stock prices or weather data …

When characterizing biomolecular interactions, avidity, is an umbrella term used to describe
the accumulated strength of multiple specific and unspecific interactions between two or …

The emerging diffusive dynamics in many complex systems show a characteristic crossover
behaviour from anomalous to normal diffusion which is otherwise fitted by two independent …

Proteins are essential and abundant components of cellular membranes. Being densely
packed within the limited surface area, proteins fulfil essential tasks for life, which include …

A panoply of new tools for tracking single particles and molecules has led to an explosion of
experimental data, leading to novel insights into physical properties of living matter …

The march toward exascale computing will enable routine molecular simulation of larger
and more complex systems, for example, simulation of entire viral particles, on the scale of …
