Research: Our group
uses and develops molecular dynamics, free energy
simulation, and trajectory analysis methodologies (most notably
AMBER) in applications
aimed at better understanding biomolecular structure, dynamics and
interactions. A focus is on the accurate modeling of nucleic acids and
proteins and their response to ligands or changes in their
surroundings. Despite success towards these goals, in practice our
group is known for exposing problems with the force
fields and methods. Therefore, much of our effort is centered on
trying to fix these things and/or make the research easier to
do...
