When we design molecule we often want to target properties which are averages for the Boltzmann ensemble, rather than a single configuration or graph. Yet, current property-guided 3D generative models condition on single conformers. We target this with Boltzmann-Expected Design

Integrative modelling of biomolecular dynamics Time-dependent and -resolved experiments combined with computation provide a view on molecular dynamics beyond that available from static, ensemble-averaged experiments Review w @dariagusew.bsky.social & Carl G Henning Hansen doi.org/10.48550/arX...
Figure 1 from the review. Caption: Comparison of a schematic example showing static, time-dependent, and time-resolved experiments illustrated by a protein folding process. (a) A static experiment measuring the observable O$_{\text{exp}}$ is shown, which can be modelled as a distribution of simulated values, O$_{\text{calc}}$, representing a conformational ensemble of folded and unfolded states. (b) Shows a time-dependent experiment, where the equilibrium dynamics of reversible folding gives rise to measured transition times $\tau_1$ and $\tau_2$. These can be modelled as equilibrium dynamics, illustrated by a free energy (FE) surface along a chosen degree of freedom (D.O.F.) (c) A time-resolved experiment probes a non-equilibrium process, where the system begins at $t_{0}$ in the folded state. During the observation time $t$ the protein unfolds until $t_{\text{max}}$. At each time point, a distinct ensemble average, O$_{\text{exp}}$, can be observed, reflecting the proteins changing structure. This evolution can be modelled as distributions of O$_{\text{calc}}$ at each time point. These are shown together with a FE surface.

I am super excited to announce that we have a tenure-track faculty position in biophysics open in the Department of Physics at Carnegie Mellon! 🧪 Interfolio link: apply.interfolio.com/174360 PLEASE, share widely across the blue skies! Let me briefly explain what we're looking for: 1/10
Tenure-track Position in Biophysics at Carnegie Mellon University, Department of Physics

Location: Pittsburgh, PA
Open Date: Sep 19, 2025

Description
The Department of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in biophysics. The appointment is intended to be at the Assistant Professor level, but exceptional candidates at a higher level may also be considered. We seek outstanding candidates with a strong record in cellular and subcellular biophysics. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to, uncovering how key characteristics of living systems arise from the interplay between supramolecular cellular structures, how the emergent cellular circuitry defines goals and enables robust decision making, and how metabolic resources are allocated. This encompasses understanding of how information is learned, stored, transduced, and processed across subcellular structures. Applicants with theoretical, data science, or experimental backgrounds within biological physics are encouraged to apply. The ideal candidate will strengthen and extend research programs of current biophysics faculty in the Department of Physics and collaborate with broader life science activities across many departments at CMU and the wider Pittsburgh area.

#compchem New paper published in JCTC: "Velocity Jumps for Molecular Dynamics" pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... We introduce the Velocity Jumps approach, denoted as JUMP, a new class of Molecular dynamics integrators, replacing the Langevin dynamics. Amazing work by Nicolai Gouraud. #compchemsky
pubs.acs.org
Velocity Jumps for Molecular Dynamics
We introduce the Velocity Jumps approach, denoted as JUMP, a new class of Molecular dynamics integrators, replacing the Langevin dynamics by a hybrid model combining a classical Langevin diffusion and a piecewise deterministic Markov process, where the expensive computation of long-range pairwise interactions is replaced by a resampling of the velocities at random times. This framework allows for an acceleration in the simulation speed while preserving sampling and dynamical properties such as the diffusion constant. It can also be integrated in classical multi-time-step methods, pushing further the computational speedup, while avoiding some of the resonance issues of the latter thanks to the random nature of jumps. The JUMP, JUMP-RESPA and JUMP-RESPA1 integrators have been implemented in the GPU-accelerated version of the Tinker-HP package and are shown to provide significantly enhanced performances compared to their BAOAB, BAOAB-RESPA and BAOAB-RESPA1 counterparts, respectively.
