New Computer Simulation Helps Explain Folding In Important Cellular Protein

Wednesday, July 29, 2009 - 12:21 in Physics & Chemistry

Scientists have created a two-step computer simulation (using an important process called the Wang-Landau algorithm) that sheds light on how a crucial protein -- glycophorin A -- becomes an active part of living cells. The new use of Wang-Landau could lead to a better understanding of the controlling mechanisms behind protein folding.
