Applications from Biochemistry and Biophysics

Abstract

Genetic engineering and biotechnology have become a more and more important subject within the last decade. Therefore, we now want to give a perspective on the various problems from biochemistry and biophysics which can be treated and studied with the molecular dynamics methods that we described in this book. Applications include the general dynamics of proteins and their conformations, the formation of membrane structures, the determination of inhibitor-ligand binding energies, and the study of the folding and unfolding of peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids.
