| Inhalt: | The lecture introduces modern theoretical methods to study biological nano-machines. The focus is on nano-transporters. We introduce basic aspects of the structure and functioning of biological nano-transporters, and of bio-membranes. The following theoretical methods are addressed during the lecture: classical vs. combined quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical methods; transport of ions across bio-membranes; computations of free energy for nano-transporters. The lecture is accompanied by a tutorial consisting largely of practical computer work. |
