MONTE CARLO APPROACH TO BIOPOLYMERS AND PROTEIN FOLDING
HLRZ, Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany 3 - 5 December 1997
edited by P Grassberger, W Nadler (HLRZ, Research Center Jülich, Germany) & G T Barkema (University of Utrecht, The Netherlands)
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.
