of Key Drug Receptor   

Google Exacycle and new analysis techniques produce an unprecedented and
insightful millisecond simulation of the GPCR beta2 adrenergic receptor.

Kohlhoff KJ, et al. "Cloud-based Simulations on Google Exacycle Reveal
Ligand Modulation of GPCR Activation Pathways," Nature Chemistry, 2014,
6:15-21.

 

 <http://nbcr.ucsd.edu/wordpress2/?page_id=3238> New Molecular Dynamics
Method Enables Longer Simulations with a Polarizable Force Field   

OpenMM Visiting Scholar Steffen Lindert's new accelerated molecular
dynamics (aMD) implementation enables longer simulations using a
polarizable force field.

Lindert S, et al. " Accelerated Molecular Dynamics Simulations with the
AMOEBA Polarizable Force Field on Graphics Processing Units," JCTC,
2013;9:4684-4691.

 

 <http://simbios.stanford.edu/> Skin Growth's Role in Reconstructive
Surgery   

Simbios faculty Ellen Kuhl's lab has developed skin growth modeling
techniques that could improve reconstructive skin surgeries. 

Buganza Tepole A, Gosain AK, Kuhl E. "Stretching skin - The physiological
limit and beyond." Int J Nonlin Mech, 2012;47:938-949.
