Computational Molecular Medicine:
Cellular processes involve molecular recognition, dominated by short-range, intermolecular interactions among biomolecules. Providing the molecular basis of cellular pathways is therefore crucial for cell biology. It is even more so for medicine applications: drugs exert their beneficial effects because of their detailed and specific molecular structure. Atomistic simulation is a key approach to investigate the molecular determinants of cellular pathways. Here we will review some recent work from our laboratory aimed at investigating fundamental events in infective diseases, including prion diseases, as well as viral and bacterial infections.
