Implementing Dimer Metadynamics using GROMACS [PDF]
Journal of Computational Chemistry 2018, 39, 2126, 2021 We develop a Gromacs implementation of Dimer Metadynamics[JCTC 13, 425 (2017)] for enhanced sampling through artificial delocalization effects. This implementation is based entirely on a Plumed collective variable developed for this purpose, the fine tuning of Gromacs input parameters, modified forcefields and custom non-bonded interactions.

Relationship of fetal alanine uptake and placental alanine metabolism to maternal plasma alanine concentration [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1998 Uterine and umbilical uptakes of alanine (Ala) were measured in 10 ewes before (control) and during intravenous infusion of Ala, which increased maternal arterial Ala concentration from 115 ± 14 to 629 ± 78 μM ( P < 0.001). In 8 of these ewes, placental Ala fluxes were traced by constant intravenous infusion ofl-[3,3,3-2H3]Ala in the mother andl-[1-

Sensing Living Bacteria in Vivo Using d-Alanine-Derived 11C Radiotracers
ACS Central Science, 2020 Incorporation of d-amino acids into peptidoglycan is a unique metabolic feature of bacteria. Since d-amino acids are not metabolic substrates in most mammalian tissues, this difference can be exploited to detect living bacteria in vivo.
