Welcome to the official website of the Computational Biological Physics Group led by Prof. Vitor Leite, based at the Institute of Chemistry in Araraquara (IQ-Ar) and also at the Institute of Biosciences, Humanities and Exact Science (IBILCE) in São José do Rio Preto (SJRP), both at São Paulo State University (UNESP).
Prof. Dr. Vitor Leite leads a diverse group dedicated to researching protein folding and advances in Theoretical-Computational Molecular Biophysics. The group develops computational methodologies using simplified models applied to biomolecules. One of the main lines of action is developing and applying ELViM (Energy Landscape Visualization Method) to biomolecular systems. With a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach, the group seeks to find innovative solutions to complex challenges in biomolecular and related sciences.

School and Workshop on the Physics of Life
School and Workshop on the Physics of Life
Between March 24 and 30, ICTP-SAIFR had the pleasure of organizing the “School and Workshop on the Physics of Life”, an event that brought together Latin American researchers from various interdisciplinary areas, linking physics to biology. The event provided a rich environment for discussions, knowledge sharing, and new collaborations between scientists from various fields.
The meeting was an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and deepen the understanding of essential topics, such as the application of physics to the understanding of biological processes. It featured important contributions, including poster presentations and a lecture by Prof. Vitor Leite.
Our group was honored to be part of this event, and we express our gratitude to the organizers for the opportunity to broaden our knowledge and collaborate with colleagues from across the continent. Events like this are fundamental for the advancement of science and for strengthening interaction between different areas of knowledge.
ELViM
ELViM
ELViM, a methodology developed by our group initially for analyzing the energy landscape of protein molecular dynamics trajectories, has evolved over the years and its updates, enabling the analysis of RNAs. It allows the visualization of the energy landscape without the need for a pre-defined reaction coordinate. In addition, the analyses that can be carried out are very varied since it is possible to color the projection according to your interest and the objective of your research.
