The Molecular Modeling and Bioinformatics Group (MMB) is a prominent research team located at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) in the Barcelona Science Park.
Key aspects of the lab include:
-
- Leadership: Coordinated by Dr. Modesto Orozco, a full professor at the University of Barcelona.
-
- Mission: To represent and understand the behavior of living organisms using fundamental rules of physics and theoretical calculations.
-
- Key Research Areas:
-
- Macromolecular Dynamics: Analyzing protein interactions and flexibility using massive molecular dynamics simulations.
-
- Nucleic Acids: Simulating and examining anomalous DNA structures, drug-DNA interactions, and antigene/antisense therapies.
-
- Bioinformatics: Developing algorithms to predict the pathological characteristics of genetic mutations and data mining genomic DNA.
