Taught academic discipline(s)

Practical sessions (16h): Molecular modelling (M1 LUMOMAT)

 

Research topics

Methods:
  • Quantum chemistry (DFT, TD-DFT, CC..),
  • QM/MM approach (ONIOM, LSCF, EFP),
  • Molecular mechanics (homology modelling, molecular docking, molecular dynamics...).
Applications:
  1. Ground and excited state properties (dyes, photochromes, fluorescent proteins)
  2. Impact of the surroundings (solvent or protein matrix)
  3. Ligand(drug)-protein interaction, inhibitor identification of protein-protein interactions
