Explanation of Molecular Modelling

The molecular dynamics method. By analysing a molecular system using physics, specifically the laws of motion and energy, one can model the movements of atoms within a 3d space or medium. By treating all atoms as ‘balls’ the motions can be calculated based on their interactions with other atoms. These interactions are derived using four main… Continue reading Explanation of Molecular Modelling

Introduction to Protein Folding

This is a basic description of what a protein is, what they become and the relevance of  molecular modelling, as I didn’t really explain this in that blog. Cells are made of proteins. To build a protein, a cell uses the codes stored in its DNA to gather a group of Amino Acids (AA), a list if you will.… Continue reading Introduction to Protein Folding
