11. Prediction, modeling, and refinement of protein structure
Abstract : Accurate predictions of protein structure are important for understanding many processes in cells. The interactions that govern protein folding and structure are complex, and still far from completely understood. However, progress is being made in many areas. Here, efforts to improve the overall quality of protein structure models are described. READ MORE

12. Structural modeling of membrane transporter proteins
Abstract : A fundamental process of all living organisms - the transport of molecules across cellular membranes through membrane transport proteins - is investigated.After a brief review of general properties of biological membranes follows a recollection of the major methods of membrane transport that Nature utilizes (Chapter 1).

13. Systems Analysis of the Protein Secretory Pathway in Yeast and Human Cells
Abstract : The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665, later in nineteen century the cell theory was developed as all organisms are composed of one or more cells. Since then, many tools and experimental methods have been developed to dissect and characterize the cell components which resulted in established solid scientific fields such as biochemistry, molecular cell biology and genetics.

14. Modeling Kinetics of Protein-Ligand Systems
Abstract : Protein-ligand interactions dominate many life activities and are crucial for thedevelopment of tracers for diagnosing diseases and drugs for treating diseases.For protein-ligand interactions, the binding affinity is conventionally believedto be the most important indicator. READ MORE

15. Modeling of voltage-gated ion channels
Abstract : The recent determination of several crystal structures of voltage-gated ion channels has catalyzed computational efforts of studying these remarkable molecular machines that are able to conduct ions across biological membranes at extremely high rates without compromising the ion selectivity. Starting from the open crystal structures, we have studied the gating mechanism of these channels by molecular modeling techniques. READ MORE
