Zusammenfassung

Detailed atomistic models of proteins can only be used to study short times, and thus can involve only very limited conformational changes in large systems. They are also of little use for understanding general principles of proteins and how complex macroscopic properties emerge from elementary interactions. Coarse grained models are used to overcome these problems. However, such models fail to describe many properties of proteins, like the phase diagram of these macromolecules and the forces favoring the formation of secondary structures. The project´s goal is to overcome these limita...
