Plasma surface engineering for manmade soft materials: a review

Dirk Hegemann et al.

Summary: Manmade soft materials are crucial in technological applications and play a key role in the development of future technologies. This review focuses on recent progress in plasma engineering and processing of soft materials, particularly in synthesis, surface modification, etching, and deposition. Researchers have found that plasma can provide highly energetic, non-equilibrium conditions at material surfaces, allowing for the modification and creation of different surface properties.

GNINA 1.0: molecular docking with deep learning

Andrew T. McNutt et al.

Summary: Molecular docking software Gnina 1.0, utilizing convolutional neural networks as scoring functions, outperforms AutoDock Vina in redocking and cross-docking tasks when binding pockets are explicitly defined. The ensemble of CNNs shows good generalization to unseen proteins and ligands, producing scores that correlate well with known binding poses. The 1.0 version of GNINA is available under an open source license for use as a molecular docking tool.
