Macromolecular Modelling and Dynamic Simulations (MMDS)

JIC is a world renowned multi-disciplinary centre of excellence in plant and microbial science. Investigations from atomic to organism level are carried out using state-of-the-art technologies in a wide array of experimental techniques. The traditional two dimensional research using both in vivo and in vitro systems is complemented with a third dimension of in silico system for addressing biological problems on theoretical and mathematical grounds. Apart from computational biologists embedded in various departments, a new Computational and Systems Biology Department has recently been established which reflects the JIC resolve and dedication to in silico research of plants and microbial systems.

Macromolecular Modelling and Dynamic Simulations is housed in this new department and works with the JIC scientists, on a collaborative basis, to resolve relevant biological problems at a molecular level using macromolecular structures and in silico experimentations such as homology modelling, dynamic simulations, protein-protein interaction and protein-ligand docking.
