Untying molecular knots: Making molecular simulations more efficient with LongBondEliminator

Researchers from the Vermaas lab created a more efficient tool to solve the problem of ring piercings in molecular simulations. This work is published in Biomolecules. Read more.
Dried dirt and plant cells
Is there a link between climate change and plant nutrition?

A new study from researchers from the Walker lab underscores that we still have much to learn regarding how plants will function — and how nutritious they will be — as more carbon enters our atmosphere. Read more.
Berkley Walker
From colleagues to collaborators, a cross-department conversation links statistics to plant science

Assistant Professor Berkley Walker teamed up with Assistant Professor Chih-Li Sung to find a new statistical framework that can accurately estimate the parameters in biological models. Read more.
