Cellular Processes governed by protein conformational changes
The methods of quantum mechanics are applied to the study of a wide variety of organic, biological and inorganic compounds. Molecular structure, reactivity and properties are predicted on the basis of theoretical calculations. Due to constant improvements in computer power, and to more and more efficient algorithms, the predictions that can be made are frequently competitive in terms of accuracy with experimental measurements. Computations ...
The ULTR group was built around Lode Wyns and Serge Muyldermans who started investigating biomolecular structures in the 80's. The initial focus was a biochemical and biophysical analysis of chromatin assembly and structure, necessitating major efforts in the acquisition of the appropriate technological tools, including protein & nucleic acid chemistry, genetic engineering, analytical centrifugation and spectroscopy. In 1989, the long ...
