There is a growing interest to study Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). These proteins do not form unique three-dimensional structure. On the contrary the disordered structure and the associated noise can trigger a variety of tasks, often complementing their ordered counterparts. IDPs have been associated with numerous diseases, such as cancer, diabetes. We use mesoscale models of IDPs, particularly those have been associated with diseases and study their conformations and dynamics using a variety of computer simulation methods.
Students will be running simulation, analyze and visualize data using the code that will be provided. Some knowledge of Python will be a plus, although not necessary. They will be encouraged to present the research results during the showcase of undergraduate research.
