Our latest manuscript presents the most recent tools available in the PySoftK software package (bit.ly/4jQps8i). PySoftK now helps scientists analyse molecular simulations of soft materials, w/ tools for analysing interfaces, molecular interactions, & self-assembly 1/7
Automated Analysis of Soft Matter Interfaces, Interactions, and Self-Assembly with PySoftK
Molecular dynamics simulations have become essential tools in the study of soft matter and biological macromolecules. The large amount of high-dimensional data associated with such simulations does n...

Our latest manuscript has been published in
Langmuir: bit.ly/4hMNBuy. In this manuscript we show that thanatin, a naturally occurring antimicrobial peptide, punches holes & disrupts bacterial membranes through multiple mechanisms, causing them to break apart 1/3

Our latest manuscript is now available in Biochemistry @acs.org (bit.ly/3Ct1PSm) In it we show that C-terminal amidation of an antimicrobial peptide increases its conformational flexibility, which improves membrane penetration, leads to faster bacterial killing & better selectivity for pathogens.
