Optimized protein-water interactions and torsional refinements yield balanced atomistic protein force fields [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsAll-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on physics-based force fields serve as an essential complement to experiments for investigating protein structure, dynamics, and interactions. Despite significant advances in force field parameterization,

Mechanistic studies on HNRNPA2B1 suggest binding but not selective recognition of m6A [PDF]
RNA BiologyHNRNPA2B1 contains two RRM domains and has been investigated for its possible role as an m6A reader protein. The targetome of HNRNPA2B1 was shown to overlap with the m6A methylation motif, but further investigations of its binding affinity for m6A ...
