Statistical
Mechanics Of Proteins |

|
The Zuckerman group develops algorithms
and software for understanding the molecular basis of protein
behavior - especially large conformational changes
and binding events. Principles of statistical mechanics
underpin the group's efforts to develop rigorous, but
fast, methods for calculating free energies of binding and
to gain understanding of activated transitions in proteins
and molecular systems generally. |

NEW: |
The Ensemble Protein Database (EPDB) The EPDB offers ensembles of structures, generated by computation, freely. Biology requires multiple conformations, afterall. |
