Abstract. Although electrolyte density measurements have been reported for over a century, employing them to determine accurate partial molar volume (PMV)

Abstract. Understanding RNA structural dynamics is essential for elucidating its biological functions, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations provide an i

Magnesium ions are essential for RNA structure but difficult to model due to slow binding kinetics and experimental limitations. We present an enhanced-sampling strategy that accelerates Mg$^{2+}$ inn...

Structural ensemble refinement is widely used to integrate molecular simulations with experimental measurements. While most applications focus on the maximum-a-posteriori (MAP) ensemble, Bayesian samp...
