Détail du sujet

Introduction : The cell membrane is a thin layer of lipid molecules protecting our cells from outside contamination.  Many different types of lipid molecules exist, but their global characteristics are the same: a hydrophilic head group and one or more hydrophobic tails.

Project : The students are to create a system where tailored lipid residue topology building blocks are constructed from basic input files laying out the lipid properties.  These files must be compatible with the gromacs molecular simulation package.

Requirements : Basic knowledge of chemical structure; solid knowledge of programming; working knowledge of linux systems.
