Abstract

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Keywords: protein-protein interactions, antimicrobial peptides, gene networks Abstract: In the current proposal, we are requesting resources for three different projects. 1. Insights into the mechanism of action of antimicrobial peptides from molecular dynamics simulations. This is a continuation of proposed work awarded with AAB resources in 2003. We describe the results of the work so far, and the new systems we will investigate. 2. Development of novel protein-protein docking prediction methods. This is a new project. 3. Design and simulations of artificial gene networks. This is a new project. Our goal is to use computational biology to provide insight in molecular recognition phenomena and develop design rules for novel gene transcription systems
