Computational Approaches for Understanding Dynamical Systems: Protein Folding and Assembly, Volume 170 in the Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science series, provides the most topical, informative and exciting monographs available on a wide variety of research topics. The series includes in-depth knowledge on the molecular biological aspects of organismal physiology, with this release including chapters on Pairwise-Additive and Polarizable Atomistic Force Fields for Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Proteins, Scale-consistent approach to the derivation of coarse-grained force fields for simulating structure, dynamics, and thermodynamics of biopolymers, Enhanced sampling and free energy methods, and much more.

Birgit Strodel

Birgit Strodel studied chemistry at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (Germany) and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (USA) and received her PhD in Theoretical Chemistry from the University of Frankfurt/Main (Germany) in 2005. She then joined the group of Prof. David J. Wales at Cambridge University (UK) as a postdoctoral research associate. Since 2009 she heads the Computational Biochemistry Group at the Jülich Research Centre (Germany) and was appointed Professor at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf in 2011. Her research interests primarily involve the thermodynamics and kinetics of protein aggregation.
