Triazavirine (TZV), a small molecule with a broad spectrum of antiviral activity, shows a tendency to induce the aggregation of melittin (MLT), a cationic membrane-disrupting peptide from the poison of the European bee. In MLT:TZV mixtures, high molecular weight precipitates form once a critical MLT:TZV ratio has been exceeded. Molecular dynamics simulation of MLT-TZV interactions, followed by molecular docking, led us to the hypothesis of multicenter binding of TZV supramolecular complexes to MLT.

The scission rates of polystyrene and fluorinated polystyrene irradiated in an irradiation facility with Co-60 γ-rays were determined using molecular dynamics simulation and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) molecular weight distributions. The prediction was based on the assumption that γ-ray energy is transferred to the initial velocity of the primary knock-on atom. We employed a molecular dynamics simulation procedure to compute the changes in bond length between the connections for selected values of the absorbed dose and compared the calculated values with measurements made on the irradiated samples. The samples were exposed to four different absorbed doses of 25, 50, 75, and 100 kGy. The scission process and scission ratio were simulated with LAMMPS with ReaxFF potential for each bond, and we compared the simulation results with the experimental data especially measuring average molecular weight to evaluate the effect of fluorination on radiation enhancement.
