To test our experimental results against theoretical models, we cooperate with several external and KIT internal partners, who do MD simulations on our systems.

external Partners:

Prof. Paolo Ruggerone (Dep. of Physics, Cagliari University)

Dr. Jakob Ulmschneider (Physics Department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University)

internal KIT:

apl. Prof. Dr. W. Wenzel (Institute of Nanotechnology)

Prof. Dr. M. Elstner (Institute für Physikalische Chemie / Theoretical Chemical Biology)

The 3-dimensional structure of a protein or a peptide often is quite important for its biochemical behavior. Nevertheless its spatial appearance is hard to imagine, especially for an untrained person. Protein Origami wants to simplify this by assisting the user in constructing a 3-dimensional paper-model of the helical part of an amino acid sequence. To perform this, Protein Origami is strictly page oriented and internally sorts the sequence suitable to be printed on a standard A4 (Letter resp.) size paper sheet.
