WELCOME
Hi, my name is Krzysztof and ... I'm OK. I'm an assistant at the faculty of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. I'm a member of Prof. Marta Pasenkiewicz-Gierula's group. My scientific interests are focused on studying processes occurring in lipid membranes. The most common techinque involved in my research is Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation method. I perform MD simulations of model systems which consists of lipids and peptides. Here you find short info about the most recent project which is aimed at elucidation of the molecular basis for activity and specificity of magainins. The other project is to establish the influence of a double bond in lipid hydrocarbon chains on overall properties of lipid bilayers. In addition to that, in the framework of collaboration with Prof. Gerald Kneller and Dr. Konrad Hinsen, together with Dr. Tomasz Rog I'm involved in development of nMoldyn program package. An overview and a few snapshots of this powerful program are given here . The last thing which should be mentioned here is ConvAmber program which is hoped to enable conversion of MD trajectories produced with AMBER package (and others) into the format used by nMoldyn: the MMTK NetCDF format.
NEWS
1.09.2003
The first public release of MDconvert: a toolkit for converting Amber trajectories into the MMTK world. MDconvert-0.22-a2 can read/process all Amber files (versions 4 to 6). Look at the short tutorial to see how you can use xmdc program.
