All-Atom Modeling of Protein Folding and Aggregation

Theoretical investigations of biorelevant processes in the life-science research require highly optimized simulation methods. Therefore, massively parallel Monte Carlo algorithms, namely MTM, were successfully developed and applied to the field of reversible protein folding allowing the thermodynamic characterization of proteins on an atomistic level. Further, the formation process of trans-membrane pores in the TatA system could be elucidated and the structure of the complex could be predicted.
