Projects

Our main aim is to develop and apply computer-aided methods to model, simulate and predict how biomolecules interact. The focus is on the interactions of proteins. The methods make use of three-dimensional macromolecular structures and combine approaches based on physicochemical principles with those of chemo- and bio-informatics.
Some of our projects are described on this page.

CompIF: Efficient computation of intermolecular forces for biomolecular simulations

31. October 2023

Molecular simulations enable the structure, dynamics, and interactions of biomolecules to be explored in detail. Trajectories (or movies) of the evolution …
