A new approach to protein folding by reducing dimensionality of protein conformational space


EMSL Project ID
5390

Abstract

The objectives of this proposal are to develop and implement an efficient method to address the problem of protein folding. Our approach is based on reducing the multi-scale and multi-dimensional nature of the problem, to match the currently available parallel/distributed computing resources.
