<h2>We are a young team of molecular modelers</h2>

<p>Led by Dr. Jean-Didier Maréchal, our group focuses on the modeling of systems at the interface between <strong> chemistry and biology</strong>. Our primary interests are chemobiological hybrids like artificial enzymes, biosensors and biomarkers and more particularly those involving transition metal moeties. We have a large network of collaborations worldwide both with experimental and theoretical groups leader in these fields.<br/><br/>
We also intensively work on <strong> structural bioinformatics and computational chemistry methodological developments </strong> that could sustain our investigation and our <strong>multi-scale procedures</strong>. Most of our efforts are performed using <strong>Python</strong> as a principal scripting language.<br/><br/>

<h2>Multi-Scale and Novel Computational Strategies for Complex Modeling</h2>
<p>
Led by Dr. Jean-Didier Maréchal, the activity of <strong>InsiliChem</strong> focuses on the modeling and design of <strong>molecular systems</strong>. We work on a broad range of applications in the <strong>chemical biology </strong> and <strong>supramolecular chemistry</strong> areas. One of our particular field of expertise is the study of <strong> chemobiological hybrids </strong> like artificial enzymes, biosensors and biomarkers that stand on complementarities between biomolecules and transition metal moeties. </p>

Our research stands on <strong>2 major computational components</strong>. One is the <strong>integrative</strong> use of different level of theory and the optimization of the intercommunication between the software that sustain them. This <strong> Multi-Level framework</strong> offers us major opportunities in working on complex systems. The other is a series of <strong>novel computational tools </strong> that bridge standard explorative procedures, like Genetic Algorithms, with <strong> conditional modeling </strong> hence bridging <strong> (biophys)chemical intuition</strong> in the exploration of wide biochemical spaces. Most of our developments are performed using <strong>Python</strong> as a principal scripting language.

<h3>The underlying idea</h3>
<p>Bridging several modelling methods together is now a common strategy in computational chemistry and are generally referred as Multi-Scale methods. These combinations could have different level of complexities. One of the most frequent is a “simple” two step procedure where one method of low accuracy level is used to explore wide conformational space (i.e. Force Field Molecular Dynamics) and a second, of higher quality, is performed on a series of eligible candidates (i.e. QM/MM refinement). On the other extremity the spectrum, complex multi-scale modelling may be reached with many different methods combined in hierarchical, integrative, sequential or even iterative manner. In these types of methodologies the data go from one level of theory to another in order to get convenient energetic and structural features of complex systems. </p>

<h3>The Problem </h3>
<p>If articulating several methods constitutes the cornerstone of many computational chemistry studies, multi-scale modelling has not yet reach a conventional way to proceed. There are a series of methodological and technical complexities. One particular bottleneck in the Multi-Scale landscape is the optimization of input/output data flow between different software. Intercommunication between software is never a priority for standalone programs and generally modellers spend a substantial amount of time and distress on getting the correct transformation of an output result into a input for the execution of a new calculation. With the huge potential that offers multi-scale modelling in the future of chemical sciences and more particularly for chemical applications at interfacial sciences like bio- or nanotechnologies, providing with easy going and generalist user interfaces that could be easily adapted from software to software would represent a major step forward. </p>

<h3>The PluMMe package</h3>
<p>Since feeding molecular modeling programs from one to another is of the most tedious and source of errors in computational chemistry, we and others are betting on multiscale/integrative/multilevel approaches that conveniently combine in a unique protocol by developping interfaces that do not alter the internal code of each software of the pipeline but transform only input and output is a effective way.</p>
<p>A substentially amount of interfaces have been created yet and stand on UCSF Chimera facilities. In writting process at the moment, PluMMe will soon be available for download.</p>
