Did you know there are more than bilayer #membranes in nature? Meet the #archaeal monolayer and its surprising mechanical properties! New #preprint! (1/7)
I sit across from @v_sorichetti .
He charges brushes the right way.
Maybe his preprint can recharge your scientific batteries and brush up your cg simulation skills. Find out?

Modelling real word-like archaeal membranes by mixing bolalipids with a small fraction of bilayer lipids, we get membranes that are easy to bend and are stable at high T. (6/7)
Taken together, we find membrane tradeoff design principles evolved in extremophiles - stability vs reshapeability - that can be valuable for (bio)technological applications. (7/7)

@PhysicsofLifeUK Feeling very inspired by this young bio-physics community, and what a nice setting in lovely Edinburgh (excellent weather was a great idea too, thanks organisers!) @vainhilla96 @miggral
Discussing physics over tapas at @PhysicsofLifeUK Summer School in Edinburgh 🏴 with @BillieMeadowcr1 @lucabrb_ @luke_phys @vainhilla96 ! – at Edinburgh, Scotland
