Research Focus

• Molecular Dynamics simulations of Biomolecular systems.
  Using molecular dynamics simulations I try to understand the complex behavior of (bio)molecular systems. I use a broad spectrum of different techniques, including coarse grain (Martini) and atomistic (Amber) force fields, enhanced sampling methods (Thermodynamic Integration, metadynamics). My favorite "tools" to do this are Gromacs (the MD-package) and python (the language).Biological problems that have my specific interest are the formation of (small/transient) domain in cell membranes (often refered to as "rafts") and the behaviour of ubiquitin chains and its binding to ubiquitin binding domains.
