A major effort has been on the development and application of computer models and simulation methods for molecular systems. Particular research problems include study of atomic mobility in proteins and membranes by molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo computer simulations; quantitative modeling of recognition and binding in ligand-receptor systems with solvation effects; development of methods for computing free energy change efficiently in solution phase processes; calculation of diffusion constants and diffusion encounter rates of rigid and flexible molecules in solution and onto biomembranes by Brownian dynamics simulations; modeling of subcellular and cellular processes, including signal transduction, gene expression, and cytoskeletal dynamics. |
