My research involves using computational programs such as NAMD, GROMACS and AMBER to perform molecular dynamic simulation of peptide systems. The project that I am focused on is based on simulating six different peptide-based polyelectrolyte systems in order to probe factors which affect their ability to cluster and form coacervates. Currently, coacervates are being studied as a new type of adaptable material and as a drug delivery method so an understanding of the factors behind coacervation is important.
