Computational Biochemistry Group
About
In the Computational Biochemistry Group, headed by Prof. Dr. Birgit Strodel, we work on the development of biomolecular simulation methods and their application to various problems from the fields of biophysics and biochemistry. In particular, techniques involving molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and molecular docking are used. The simulations are often evaluated using transition networks and Markov state models. Thematically, we focus on protein aggregation causing diseases, intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), protein-lipid interactions, protein-protein interactions, enzyme design, and drug development.
Research Topics
- Amyloid aggregation
- Energy landscapes of IDPs and peptide aggregation
- Protein-membrane interactions as part of infection biology
- Enzyme design: from machine learning to MD simulations and experiments
- Computer-aided drug design
- Force field verification
