New Open-Source Software Permits Faster Desktop Computer Simulations Of Molecular Motion
Whether vibrating in place or taking part in protein folding to ensure cells function properly, molecules are never still. Simulating molecular motions provides researchers with information critical to designing vaccines and helps them decipher the bases of certain diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, that result from molecular motion gone awry. In the past, researchers needed either supercomputers or large computer clusters to run simulations.
