In silico

Multiscale visualization of a viral spike glycoprotein interacting with a hydrophobic polarizable bilayer. The spike (green) presents three RBDs: one open (purple) and two closed (orange), surrounded by a glycan shield (red). Three glycans are highlighted: G1 (no sialic acids), G2 (one), and G3 (two). Increasing sialylation enhances electrostatic interactions (lightning features). The surface shows hydrophobic behavior with rounded water droplets.

In the foreground, a vibrant scene unfolds: a nerve cell, a capillary, an astrocyte, and a microglial cell seem almost to dance, their vivid colors creating a striking interplay of hues and emotion. In the background, still rich yet softly blurred, the shapes evoke the fading of memories and the emergence of new thoughts and feelings. The result is a scene that captures the continuous evolution of creative thought-multifaceted, dynamic, and always in flux.
