Read moreDr Jocelyne Vreede of the research group Computational Chemistry at the Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS) worked together with researchers at the UvA’s Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences (SILS) to elucidate the structure and dynamics of the spore membrane protein GerAB from the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. The study contributes to a better […]
Read moreA team of computational chemists at the Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences of the University of Amsterdam and the Department of Chemistry of the University of Cambridge has developed a new method of seeing molecular motions by incorporating experimental kinetic rate constants into molecular simulations. The results were recently published in the Proceedings […]
