Exploring molecular dynamics to uncover the mechanisms of DNA, RNA, proteins and their interactions. #MDsimulations #StructuralBiology Dept, #WeizmannInstitute
Our paper on the strong interplay between DNA deformability and protein binding has just appeared. It is not just about the extensive search or the energetic barrier for binding but the delays due to many unproductive binding events. academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…
Functional Ambidexterity of an Ancient Nucleic Acid-Binding Domain Now out now in @angew_chem Exciting collaboration with @Metanis_Group and @koby_group onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…
Our study with @rogoulenko in @NAR_Open shows #DNA flexibility impacts protein binding. Despite kinetic challenges, evolution ensures proteins effectively target and bind DNA. Check out Daniel Philosoph's cover art, hand-painted with real brushes! #ProteinDNA #ProteinStructures

🎉 Excited to share our latest publication jctc "Histidine in Proteins: pH-Dependent Interplay between π–π, Cation–π, and CH–π Interactions" by @rivkacalinsky. Discover more: (pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…) #ComputationalChemistry #Histidine #MolecularSwitch #CationPi
I have just opened my lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Department of Chemical and Structural Biology, and am looking for students! Please share! :) For more details, check out my website: weizmann.ac.il/CSB/lansky
"Exciting news! @segevnaveh from our group, contributed molecular dynamics simulations to understand more about the ORC DNA binding. Check out the highlights of our latest paper led by Michal Chappleboim from the @BarkaiLab in @NAR_Open. #research #science"
Exciting news! Our latest paper "Ordered and disordered regions of the Origin Recognition Complex direct differential in vivo binding at distinct motif sequences", led by Michal Chappleboim is now out in @NAR_Open. Check out the highlights below. doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk…
Hello All, Delighted to share with you the 3rd lecture of our Webinar Series (On March 20th at 5 PM IST; open to all) by Prof. Koby Levy! For details please visit: sites.google.com/iitj.ac.in/web…"
Congratulations to Prof. Koby Levy, the new Head of Chemical and Structural Biology Department @koby_group

Designing condensates with desired diffusivity and stability requires quantification not only of the individual interactions but also cross-talks involving charge–charge, π–π, and cation−π interactions! Just came up online in JPCL. doi.org/10.1021/acs.jp…
