21. Interaction of Calcium Ions with Lipid Membranes
Abstract : Bilayer membranes enclose and shield the biological cell and its inner compartments, as well as the tubular networks that exist within and between the cells. Due to their fluidic nature, the membranes are incredibly dynamic and flexible, which allows them to bend, reshape and fuse in response to mechanical and chemical stimuli within their natural microenvironments.

22. Multiscale simulations of soft matter: systematic structure-based coarse-graining approach
Abstract : The soft matter field considers a wide class of objects such as liquids, polymers, gels, colloids, liquid crystals and biological macromolecules, which have complex internal structure and conformational flexibility leading to phenomena and properties having multiple spacial and time scales. Existing computer simulation methods are able to cover these scales, but with different resolutions, and ability to link them together performing a multiscale simulation is highly desirable.

23. Membrane Stress and the Role of GYF Domain Proteins
Abstract : Intracellular membrane trafficking is regulated by a large number of protein complexes and lipids. Blocking of trafficking disrupts normal membrane dynamics and causes membrane stress. READ MORE

24. Engineering Surfaces of Solid-State Nanopores for Biomolecule Sensing
Abstract : Nanopores have emerged as a special class of single-molecule analytical tool that offers immense potential for sensing and characterizing biomolecules such as nucleic acids and proteins. As an alternative to biological nanopores, solid-state nanopores present remarkable versatility due to their wide-range tunability in pore geometry and dimension as well as their excellent mechanical robustness and stability.

25. Housing Aquaporins in Nanostructured Glass
Abstract : Proteins are a group of biomolecules that perform versatile tasks, which in many cases are essential for life. The magnitude of their importance is perhaps expressed by the word protein itself, coined by the Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius in the summer of 1838. READ MORE
