How can we extract unbiased transition rates from ligand-unbinding Random Acceleration MD (RAMD) simulations? Our new paper lays out the theoretical framework behind RAMD. Take a look! doi.org/10.1063/5.03... @benoitroux.bsky.social @yiweiding.bsky.social & Alessia Ghidini #MD #drugdiscovery

Thanks to all who attended the #BPS2025 #cryoem symposium yesterday, and the happy hour last night!

We heard some superb science at the symposium and had some great discussions which were continued in the evening.

And congratulations to Dr. Elizabeth Wright, our inaugural Almeida Award winner!
