(Part 1/2) Excited to share our recent work led by PhD student Beth Wei, in collaboration with Prof. Michael P. Howard from Auburn University, published in Molecular Systems Design & Engineering (pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...).

(Part 1/2) Excited to share our work, led by PhD student Keerthivasan Muthukumar and postdoc Dr. Dinesh S. Devarajan, is now published in PNAS (www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...).

(Part 1/2) Excited to share new work by our PhD student Qizan Chen, in collaboration with Jeffery Rimer’s group, published in JPCC (pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....). We study how subtle structural differences in uric acid tautomers affect ammonium urate crystals.

(Part 1/2) Excited to share our work (pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...), led by PhD student Shuo-Lin Weng and postdoc Priyesh Mohanty. We used all-atom MD simulations to study the conformational dynamics and phase separation (PS) of full-length FUS protein.

(Part 1/2) Excited to share our recent work (pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....) led by Ashish Shyam Tangade and Anupam Mondal. We developed a minimal coarse-grained model to simulate protein-DNA condensates.

Excited to share our recent work published in JACS Au (pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....) led by PhD student Jiahui Wang! We reveal how small molecule cosolutes modulate the morphology of multicomponent condensates by tuning the relative interaction strengths between components.

Excited to share our recent work (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...) led by PhD student Busra Ozguney & postdoc Priyesh Mohanty! We reveal atomic-level insights into how GU-rich RNA binding modulates the conformational ensemble of TDP-43 RRMs, promoting function and preventing misfolding.

(1/2) We’re excited to share our recent work (elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...) on HP1 phase separation, led by postdoc Tien Phan @tienphan.bsky.social ! We investigate LLPS differences among HP1 paralogs (HP1α, HP1β, HP1γ), key players in heterochromatin formation and gene regulation.

(1/2) We are excited to announce that our paper, led by PhD student Shiv Rekhi, has been published in PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/.... In this work we compute the transfer free energies of amino acid side chains from the dilute to the dense phase.
