Creating an analysis framework for Coarse-Grained LLPS-Simulations
Slots: 1, Hours per week: 6, Completion within: 6 monthsFor students inrolled in: Applied Physics B.Sc., BMC B.Sc., Chemestry B.Ed., Chemestry B.Sc., Environmental Sciences with a Focus in Atmosphere and Climate B.Sc., Geography B.Ed., Geography B.Sc., Geosciences B.Sc., Informatics B.Ed., Informatics B.Sc., Mathematics B.Ed., Mathematics B.Sc., Mathematics-Infomatics B.Sc., Meteorology B.Sc., Molecular Biology B.Sc., Molecular Biotechnology B.Sc., Physics B.Ed., Physics B.Sc.,
Discription
Complementary to the work of our experimentalists in biology, we investigate the liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of different proteins using coarse-grained molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. To create a phase diagram, many simulations with varying starting parameters are carried out and evaluated according to the same scheme. Additional features are to be added to the existing framework for this purpose.
Role of the students
The students implement new analysis features and thus gain an insight into research using biophysical simulations, as well as the development of research software using test-driven development.
Qualifications
Basic knowledge of statistical physics, programming and willingness to familiarize yourself with an interdisciplinary field are required. Knowledge of MD simulations, the Julia programming language, good English skills, Git and statistics are advantageous.
