9.26 Seminar: From QM slash MM Molecular Dynamics to Mechanistic Insight: Aliphatic Polyester Hydrolysis by a Fungal Cutinase. Flyer for Materials Science Seminar: From QM slash MM Molecular Dynamics to Mechanistic Insight: Aliphatic Polyester Hydrolysis by a Fungal Cutinase

Learn how modern supercomputers use GPUs to revolutionize molecular dynamics simulations. Dr. Andreas Goetz will discuss how GPU-optimized software like Amber and QUICK are applied to complex biochemical problems.

Dr. Goetz's research uses these powerful tools to gain a detailed understanding of how enzymes break down plastics. His talk will present a case study on the degradation of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), revealing key insights into the chemical reactions that could inform future efforts in enzyme engineering for plastic recycling.

Join us on Friday, September 26, at 1:30 p.m. to learn how high-performance computing is advancing sustainable solutions.
