This was a successful combination: Marsians make maths! And Matheon is taking part. Until shortly before midnight children of all ages and adults were joining the math children's tour. With great fun and ambition, they went on a journey around Germany, tried to work out scedules for work processes, or played with geometric figures, sudoku and dice games. A great attraction were the balloons, not only when it banged. With their help, charging processes in lithium-ion batteries were illustrated. The solution of the guess game: 592 gummy bears were in the glass. The best estimates were 600, 601 and 577. The winners will receive a present.

How proteins find and bind each other

The research Groups of Frank Noé at Matheon and FU Berlin as well as University Pompeu Fabra Barcelona, have for the first time, performed computer simulations in atomic detail to show how proteins associate and dissociate. This revealed many previously unknown details of these dynamic processes. The newly developed method opens the door to understanding the inner workings of the immune system or details of viral infections and many other problems with biomedical and biotechnological relevance. The results were published in the highly reputable scientific journal „Nature Chemistry“.
