Description

Proteins are organic compounds made of amino acids arranged in a linear chain and folded into a globular form. The amino acids in a polymer are joined together by the peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of adjacent amino acid residues. The sequence of amino acids in a protein is defined by the sequence of a gene, which is encoded in the genetic code.

  3. Computational Nanoscience, Lecture 27: Simulating Water and Examples in Computational Biology

    5.0 out of 5 stars 

    Teaching Materials | 16 May 2008 | Contributor(s):: Elif Ertekin, Jeffrey C Grossman

    In this lecture, we describe the challenges in simulating water and introduce both explicit and implicit approaches. We also briefly describe protein structure, the Levinthal paradox, and simulations of proteins and protein structure using First Principles approaches and Monte Carlo...
