Ions surround nucleic acids in what is referred to as an ion atmosphere. As a result, the
folding and dynamics of RNA and DNA and their complexes with proteins and with each …

The actin cytoskeleton, a network of protein-polymers, is responsible for the mechanical
stability of cells. This biopolymer network is also crucial for processes that require spatial …

Recent developments in implicit solvent models may be compared in terms of accuracy and
computational efficiency. Based on improvements in the accuracy of generalized Born …

Helices are essential building blocks of living organisms, be they molecular fragments of
proteins (α-helices), macromolecules (DNA and collagen), or multimolecular assemblies …

An understanding of molecular interactions is essential for insight into biological systems at
the molecular scale. Among the various components of molecular interactions, electrostatics …

Aqueous arginine solutions are used extensively for inhibiting protein aggregation. There
are several theories proposed to explain the effect of arginine on protein stability, but the …

Viruses belong to a fascinating class of natural supramolecular structures, composed of
multiple copies of coat proteins (CPs) that assemble into different shapes with a variety of …

We present a personal view on the current state of statistical mechanics of Coulomb fluids
with special emphasis on the interactions between macromolecular surfaces, concentrating …

Membrane vesicles composed of fatty acids can be made to grow and divide under
laboratory conditions, and thus provide a model system relevant to the emergence of cellular …

The combination of neutron diffraction with isotopic substitution (NDIS) experiments and
molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to characterize the structuring in an aqueous solution …
