The aim of the theoretical biophysics group is to contribute to the understanding of the physics and function of biomolecules - particularly proteins - at the atomic level. Here, two lines of questions span the field at the interface between physics, molecular biochemistry and computer science:
(1) What structural and dynamical properties are common to proteins? How can these highly organized, but irregular pieces of condensed matter be described in terms of many-body systems?
(2) How does a given protein work? What is the mechanism of such biochemical `nano-machine'?
New concepts to neglect irrelevant degrees of freedom as well as Efficient and problem-oriented, parallel algorithms for molecular dynamics simulations, being indispensable tools in that area, are our methodological focus
