Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2019,

"Recently through de novo peptide design, we have discovered and presented a new protein structure. This is an all-parallel, 6-helix bundle with a continuous central channel of 0.5 – 0.6 nm diameter. We posit that this is one of a broader class of protein structures that we call the alpha-helical barrels. Here, in three Work Packages, we propose to explore these structures and to develop protei ...

Chaos in Parabolic Dynamics: Mixing, Rigidity, Spectra (ChaParDyn)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,

"The theme of the proposal is the mathematical investigation of chaos (in particular ergodic and spectral properties) in parabolic dynamics, via analytic, geometric and probabilistic techniques. Parabolic dynamical systems are mathematical models of the many phenomena which display a ""slow"" form of chaotic evolution, in the sense that nearby trajectories diverge polynomially in time. In contras ...
