Help for molecular dynamics of an LNP
I'm looking for a coauthor/collaborator with experience in molecular dynamics and computational biology.
My project is an LNP based on the general structure of Moderna-style LNPs, using a VHH nanobody targeting the adhesion-like protein MRU_1503 of Methanobrevibacter ruminantium. The LNP encapsulates 3-NOP and aspartate to minimize disruption of the rumen microbiome while still inhibiting methanogenesis. The design also includes PEI-R to help overcome the methanogen cell wall and provide access to the membrane.
I already have in silico binding data for the VHH ligand, including Gibbs free energy, affinity estimates, and evidence of up to six potential hydrogen bonds between the nanobody and MRU_1503. What I need help with is running and interpreting molecular dynamics simulations and other in silico validation studies. I have no coding experience but already have an advanced design and supporting data.
If this aligns with your expertise and you're interested in collaborating as a coauthor, please reach out
