PUCHIK means 'balloon' in Armenian, which is home for Hrach and is also a well-suited name for the nanoscale objects that we hope to facilitate the understanding of with this code. 10/10

The efforts of so many people have resulted in numerous manuscripts being published in close succession. Hrach Ishkhanyan & Alejandro Santana Bonilla did all of the hard work in this case. 9/10

PUCHIK can be used to analyse each aggregate separately in simulated systems with multiple nanoparticles. In particle, this software provides accurate descriptions of aspherical nanoparticles, which are poorly characterised by methods employed in our PySoftK software. 5/10

By accurately accounting for the location of the interface of the aggregate, one can also accurately determine the amount of molecular cargo solubilised within the nanoparticles (e.g. small molecule or peptide therapeutic or any other desirable molecular cargo). 4/10

The software enables the calculation of key properties, such as densities of (and therefore the internal structure) the molecules which are found within the nanoparticle and in its local environment, nanoparticle volume and surface area. 3/10

PUCHIK employs both convex hulls and alpha shapes to define the nanoparticle interface, allowing for a detailed representation of solid, hollow, and mesoporous nanoparticles. This is crucial as surface effects are dominant in nanoparticle functionality. 2/10

PySoftK v1.0 provides an automated approach to investigate interfaces in soft matter systems, interactions that govern structure within soft matter, and soft matter self-assembly, and will help to accelerate the computer-aided design of new materials. 5/7

Also there is a tool that correctly accounts for periodic boundary conditions when analysing self-assembled structures, even if these structures are larger than 1/2 of the simulation box (this is not possible with any other tool & allows accurate analyses of these structures) 3/7

The software now includes tools that can quantify the self-assembly of molecules, analyse the interfaces of nanoparticles (spherical & sphere-like), investigate molecular interactions like ring stacking, solvation and intermolecular contacts. 2/7

This process, which we observed using advanced imaging and molecular dynamics simulations, is similar to how some other antimicrobial agents work and offers a potential new approach to fighting drug-resistant bacteria. 2/3

I generated a NotebookLM podcast summarising the paper, to listen - here is a link: bit.ly/3PWshqy. This was a great collaboration w/ Anabella Gaspar & Megan Bester from Pretoria & @profjamesmason.bsky.social w/ Rosalind Van Wyk doing all the hard work & Miruna Serian supporting on the MD.
