Spikes on the move! Our work has been featured on the cover of the current issue of @ScienceMagazine. @Beck_Laboratory @HerringsKing @flblanc @_mischi @SoBuelow @WimJHH @MPIbp @embl @PEI_Germany Thanks, @oooitsplasma, it's amazing!
This week in Science: Where the research is on bats as reservoirs for potential zoonotic diseases, learning more about immunity after a flu shot, and taking a closer look at the #SARSCoV2 spike protein—the primary target for #COVID19 vaccine development. fcld.ly/36kud3h

We are thrilled to present the result of a fantastic interdisciplinary collaboration: “In situ structural analysis of SARS-CoV-2 spike reveals flexibility mediated by three hinges” biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. Cutting-edge Cryo-EM and atomistic modeling provide an unprecedented

New reference paper of #NAMD just submitted !! Time to updated PHILLIPS2004 with PHILLIPS2020. Hope we'll find the same love that the community has been bestowing for the last 16 years @emadtaj @rafaelcbernardi @tcbguiuc @BeckmanInst @ASUBiodesign

Great news! The Theoretical Biophysics group was awarded 20 million core hours on SuperMUC-NG @LRZ_DE to simulate spike glycoproteins on the surface of SARS-CoV-2. Details coming soon! @BioPhysMatt @flblanc @_mischi @sobuelow @HerringsKing @maxplanckpress #covid19

I'm so bored I started writing the documentation of other people's code. (Already did mine last week)

The true performance of simulations and models in this pandemic might become clear only months or years from now. But to understand the value of #COVID19 models, it’s crucial to know how they are made and the assumptions on which they are built. go.nature.com/3bJkEh8
