New biophysics study findings recently were reported by researchers at University of Illinois, Center for Biophysics and Computational Biology

Researchers detail in 'Common structural transitions in explicit-solvent simulations of villin headpiece folding,' new data in biophysics. According to recent research from the United States, "Molecular dynamics simulations of protein folding can provide very high-resolution data on the folding process; however, due to computational challenges most studies of protein folding have been limited to small peptides, or made use of approximations such as Go potentials or implicit solvent models. We have performed a set of molecular dynamics simulations totaling >50 micros on the villin headpiece subdomain, one of the most stable and fastest-folding naturally occurring proteins, in explicit...
