Happy to share the latest from the lab, led by Daniel Alvarez, in collaboration with @lizconibear.bsky.social. In this AA-MD tour-de-force, we delve deep into the mechanism and energetics of lipid uptake by bridge-like lipid transfer proteins, and we learn a few interesting things along the way...

Happy to know my work made it to bluesky before I did :)
While, in a nice collaboration with the Carvalho lab and @joanavferreira.bsky.social, PhD student Yara Ahmed used MD simulations to characterize the binding mechanism of the Dysferlin domain of Pex30 to phosphatidic acid. Anyone interested in a novel PA-sensor? (2/2)

Pex30-dependent membrane contacts sites maintain ER lipid homeostasis
In eukaryotic cells, communication between organelles and the coordination of their activities depend on membrane contact sites (MCS). How MCS are regulated under the dynamic cellular environment rema...
