Under the supervision of Prof. Carme Rovira, Oriol Esquivias Bautista de Lisbona, a former visitor in the group of Bernd Ensing, has obtained his PhD from the University of Barcelona with the higher possible note, i.e., “excellent”. During his stay in our group, Oriol worked on combining quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics modelling with path-metadynamics to elucidate […]
Read moreSequence-specific protein–DNA interactions are crucial in processes such as DNA organization, gene regulation and DNA replication. Thor van Heesch, Peter Bolhuis and Jocelyne Vreede have developed a molecular simulation approach to quantify the sequence specificity of protein–DNA complexes, that yields results fast, and is generally applicable to any protein–DNA complex. The approach is based on molecular […]
