The effect of salt on the dynamics of CoV-2 RBD at ACE2

The paper investigates how salt concentrations affect the stability of the CoV-2 RBD-ACE2 complex, finding that higher salt concentrations strengthen the binding.

Inhibition of Corona virus spike protein binding to ACE2

The paper uses molecular dynamics simulations to study how a hexapeptide inhibits the binding of the CoV-2 spike protein to ACE2, potentially preventing viral entry.

MerMAIDs: A novel family of metagenomically discovered, marine, anion-conducting and intensely desensitizing channelrhodopsins.

The paper identifies a new family of marine anion-conducting channelrhodopsins (MerMAIDs) that rapidly desensitize under continuous light, enabling their use as optogenetic silencers.
