Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for FY 1999

该行动资助了 1999 年 NSF 研究生物信息学博士后研究奖学金。该研究和培训计划属于细胞生物学领域，题为“细胞与其环境之间界面的理论研究：模拟细胞膜上的蛋白质运动”。 在这项研究中，将从理论上对膜蛋白的扩散式横向运动进行建模和模拟。 重点将放在了解内部细胞结构如何调节蛋白质扩散，以及这种调节在多大程度上是一个动态过程。 将通过与实验学家密切合作来研究这种扩散如何与细胞功能耦合。

This action funds an NSF Research Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for 1999.The research and training plan is in the area of cell biology and is entitled "Theoretical studies of the interface between cells and their environment: simulating protein motion on the cell membrane." In this study, the diffusive-like lateral motion of membrane proteins will be theoretically modeled and simulated. Emphasis will be placed on understanding how internal cellular structure acts to regulate protein diffusion, and to what extent this regulation is a dynamic process. How this diffusion is coupled to cellular functioning will be studied by working closely with experimentalists.
