We identified a previously unknown PIP2 lipid binding site in the barrel-shaped Tubby protein that could help to understand various diseases.
Cool work from our former post-doc Sebastian Thallmair and his colleagues. Now published in Science Advances. DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abp9471

The group of Matysiak has developed a Martini variant for foldable proteins ! Nice work: Sahoo et al. JCTC, in press.
Martini versus Charmm

From the Risselada lab: a comparison between Martini 2, 3, and Charmm36 on the binding of amphipathic peptides to lipid bilayers. From the abstract: "We observed that Martini 3 qualitatively reproduces experimental trends while producing substantially lower (relative) binding free energies and shallower membrane insertion depths compared to atomistic simulations. In contrast, Martini 2 tends to overestimate (relative) binding free energies." For more details, see: van Hilten et al., JCTC 2022.
