CBMN WEBSITE

The CBMN (Centre de Biophysique Moléculaire Numérique) is a research laboratory in Biochemistry, Biophysics (IR and UV) and computer assisted modelling.

For 25 years, we have used our experience in molecular description of cell membrane components (lipids, peptides, drugs) to attempt to predict the three-dimensional structure of macromolecules. The applications of our methods range from biotechnology to pharmacology and to the food industry.

The Centre has developed a computing architecture made up of Pentium II and IV machines in parallel named RAMSES (Rapid Analysis Master/Slaves Extensible System). These machines offer calculation power of 30.000 MIPS, making the CBMN a very powerful calculation centre.
