Session: Molecular Modeling of Biophysical Processes IV - Functioning of Biological Polymers (2010 Annual Meeting)

Description:

Molecular Modeling of Biophysical Processes IV invites papers that apply computational methodologies to study the functioning of biological or bio-inspired materials. Papers that apply computational methods to address more than one scales of a system or apply multiscale methods are very welcome. Papers that aim at developing new methodologies to bridge multiple length- and time-scales are also of interest. Emphasis will be placed in connecting computational studies with experimental observations to develop design principle.
