MIDST lab works on the dynamics of complex molecular systems. Our main interest is on the understanding of the working principles of molecular machines. We focus on organic self-assembled molecules in general, and on proteins in particular. View Research
We have developed network-based models to study the basic features contributing to structure/function relationships in these systems. These include:
Elastic network models in 1-D (GNM) and 3-D (ANM).
Identifying the control architecture underlying the adaptive mechanisms in these systems.
Optimal paths along the networks to identify key locations participating in their proper functioning.
System identification based on perturbation/response scanning (PRS) to study the near-equilibrium dynamics.
Prediction of relaxation times contributing to equilibrium fluctuations.
