Artificial intelligence-guided molecular dynamics simulations decipher the activation mechanism of cellular control programs (P09)

Subject Area Biophysics
Term since 2022
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 450648163
 

Project Description

Project P09 will use modeling and simulations to gain a mechanistic understanding of fundamental regulatory processes. We will investigate the activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR), a pathway central in health and disease. We will establish artificial intelligence-guided simulations to understand how membrane-mediated interactions control the activation of the UPR. Furthermore, we will develop an interdisciplinary strategy to unravel the dimerization and activation of MET receptors.
