Zoomed in view of stalk rotation in V-type ATPases. The research reported has been supported by the National Science Foundation through Grants MCB1616590 and PHY1430124, and the National Institute ...
ATP hydrolysis-driven rotation of the central stalk in the V-type ATP synthase of the bacteria Enterococcus hirae depicts chemo-mechanical coupling of the molecular motor. These simulations were ca...
This video illustrates the vision of the Center in developing a complete in silico model of a minimal cell. It was submitted as part of the Center's collaborative application to the MacArthur Found...
Molecular dynamics simulation of an entire HIV-1 capsid, a total of 64 million atom. The immersive visualization shows the ions in yellow (sodium) and cyan (chloride). The simulations were perform...
New hybrid structure determination methods leveraging the inherent biophysical properties of a biomolecule through molecular dynamics simulations provide accurate and cost-efficient ways of achievi...

Ring-shaped molecular motors participate in many cellular processes, including DNA repair, gene expression, protein degradation, and maintenance of pH homeostasis. Despite intense research efforts,...
Swimming bacteria sense chemicals in their environment and use this information to decide how to move—a sensory phenomenon known as chemotaxis. Central to their chemotactic ability, bacterial cells...
Retroviruses are pathogens characterized by their ability to incorporate viral DNA into a host cell's genome. Retroviruses like Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) infect cells during mitosis, when the chroma...
Before a retrovirus like HIV becomes mature and is capable of infecting and hijacking a cell, it is in an immature form where the viral proteins are in a very different arrangement compared to the ...
The cellular process responsible for providing energy for most life on Earth, namely, photosynthetic light-harvesting, requires the cooperation of hundreds of proteins across an organelle, involvin...

This online tutorial shows a step-by-step guide to performing an interactive MDFF calculation. The required files for this tutorial can be downloaded from http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/mdff/docum...
The movie shows how a particular protein, named F-BAR domain, works in teams to bend flat cellular membrane into tubules. To generate large membrane curvatures, cells arrange F-BAR domain proteins ...
An HIV capsid (4.2 million atoms, 1300+ proteins) produced via a simulation method that integrates data from multiple laboratory experiments is shown. The capsid contains 186 hexamers (blue) and 12...
The rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) is extremely contagious and often associated with liver necrosis, hemorrhaging, and high mortality in adult rabbits. First described in China in 1984, wi...
