  • First simulation of a full-sized mitochondrial membrane

    27 / 05 / 2020

    This has allowed them to zoom in on toxin-induced membrane budding and to simulate a full-sized mitochondrial lipid membrane. Their approach, which was published in the journal Nature Communications on 8 May, opens the way to whole-cell simulations at a molecular level. Molecular dynamics simulations are a powerful tool to ...

    “Metabolism and cell division are both essential for life. However, little is known about the crucial interplay between these processes. Researchers will unravel the mechanism responsible for a clock-like behavior of eukaryotic metabolism during cell division. The insights will be instrumental for advances in biomedicine and biotechnology.” Vici is one ...
