This is a paper by Eleonora Ornati and Iiulia Ushakova that I am really proud of. Who would have thought that the well-known Glucose Oxidase is up for some surprises, i.e., that it initiates radical polymerizations without the need for initiators or activation by light! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Very happy to see version 2.0 of our advanced GROMOS tutorials out in LiveCoMS today! It shows how we can keep a tutorial up to date with the latest developments, but without having to start from scratch. A big ‘thank you’ to all co-authors for their work! #compchem

Great start of the #MMSoilSci Symposium with a Keynote by Edgar Galicia Andrés on the Impact of Computer Simulations in #SoilScience followed by talks from Hessam Yazdani, Hannah Pollak, Milan Předota, and Sébastien Le Crom. #MolecularModeling @bokuvienna.bsky.social www.cecam.org/workshop-det...
