Postdoc computational chemistry/structural bioinformatics (2 yrs)
Project: Parametrisation of an all-atom force field with non-natural
amino acids
The laboratory has significant expertise in the development of
empirical force fields predicting mutational changes in the free
energy of folding or binding of proteins. The aim of the current
project is to extend the capabilities of the force field towards non-
natural amino acids. This work involves obtaining good estimates of
atomic parameters such as volumes, charges, hydrophobicity and
compound properties such as backbone and sidechain entropy, from
datamining and first principle simulations. You will need a good
understanding of the physicochemistry of organic compounds and their
interaction with proteins. The candidate will have a strong
background in computational chemistry or structural bioinformatics
and experience with c++ programming will be considered a serious plus.
