…and first author of the paper published in “Nature Communications” says. By combining knowledge of known sequences and their activity, HydrAMP can generate hundreds of new sequences, significantly increasing the chances of finding exceptionally effective peptides. HydrAMP can also improve existing peptides by making changes to their sequence. For example, we can increase the antimicrobial activity of a peptide that was not showing enough effective…

…“Active surfaces in complex and confined geometry”.   “The project combines various fields: biology, fluid mechanics and statistical physics. The aim of the project is to create a model of fluid transport by so-called active surfaces. They are common in nature – for example, cell bodies of ciliates, such as paramecium known from school biology lessons, are covered with tiny cilia that pump fluid along their bodies. The same mechanism is found in…
