To facilitate the use of Martini in novel application areas, we have published two chapters with practical tips and guidelines on how to (i) setup and run protein-ligand binding simulations, and (ii) use titratable Martini. Enjoy !
The paper presenting MAD - the Martini Database Server - is now online in JCIM: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.jcim.2c01375
MAD is designed for the sharing of structures and topologies of molecules parametrized with Martini. MAD also provides a GUI to convert atomistic structures into CG structures and prepare complex systems. Please check it out: https://mad.ibcp.fr
We got him ! Together with the group of Zan Luthey-Schulten we modeled an entire cell (JCVI-Syn3a) at the Martini level of resolution. Featuring more than 60,000 proteins, millions of lipids and metabolites, 500 ribosomes and a 500 kbp circular dsDNA.
