Infos

To use information on genetic coding it is important to understand how it is translated into the three-dimensional structure of proteins. Progress is hampered by the lack of force fields and codes for finding equilibrium configurations of heteropolymers. This text discusses advances in this area.

Information on our detailed genetic code is increasing at a dramatic pace. We need to understand how that is translated into the three-dimensional structure of proteins in order to make use of the information. Progress in this field is hampered by the lack of precise force fields and of efficient codes for finding equilibrium configurations of heteropolymers. However, there has been rapid advance in recent years, and this volume discusses that.
