pixi 0.30.0 is now available! In this release I contributed `pixi project export conda-explicit-spec` that allows you to export a pixi.lock file to a conda explicit spec that can be used with conda/mamba. Full release notes are here github.com/prefix-dev/pixi/r… @prefix_dev

Check out some recent work integrating MD simulations with rare event sampling and DeepDriveMD with the wonderful @ltchong and our group. Really enjoyed the research, discussions, and the directions this work is taking!
Unsupervised learning of progress coordinates during weighted ensemble simulations: Application to millisecond protein folding
- Improve rare events in protein folding (e.g., state transitions) through weighted ensemble simulation and an unsupervised deep learning model.
- Use a convolutional VAE to compress contact maps into latent space, and applies a Local Outlier Factor to identify outlier conformations, which are then replicated in the simulation.
- Training the CVAE on-the-fly works better than using a pretrained model.

In episode 13 of the Phase Space Invaders #podcast 🎙️, my guest is Daniel Zuckerman @DMZuckermanLab! Listen to the episode on Spotify or other podcast platforms: open.spotify.com/episode/1kM…
Prompted by Daniel's passion for sharing knowledge, we discuss the question of writing #textbooks for the scientific audience 📖, including the key ingredients for clarity and depth of insight. Then, we explore the advantages and pitfalls of a trajectory-centric view of molecular #biophysics in its quest to integrate kinetics, thermodynamics, and #nonequilibrium processes into an intuitive framework.
For the curious ones, Daniel's blog can be found here: statisticalbiophysicsblog.or…
As always, happy to hear your feedback!

Thrilled to share that my thesis manuscript is out!
Here, we used WESTPA2 to show that mutations in Abl1 lead to drug resistance by dramatically shifting relative state populations, impacting the conformational search step of binding.
