Cool paper alert 🚨! Congrats @olzmannlab.bsky.social!
Proud to have made a small contribution to this. One of the prettiest membrane-protein structures I have simulated ☺️
Our paper on The Lipid Interactome is now published, and the database is open:

Poster is up! Come chat at poster B198 if you wanna learn about MD simulations of TMEM16 lipid scramblases 🤓 #bps2026
Aptly decorated floor at the Membrane Structure and Function subgroup session ❤️ #bps2026
Let’s go!! #bps2026
As a martini simulator, lipid enthusiast, and map nerd, I absolutely love this one! 🌎
Organelles do NOT have a single uniform pH.
And if you think they must, because “protons diffuse fast,” this paper is for you.
A thread on why that assumption is wrong; and what we found instead. 🧵 1/n
May lipid scramblases be selective after all?!
New @pnas.org paper showing that TMEM16F prefers PS and PC over PE in the complex context of a real plasma membrane.
