Virtual Proteins will be participating in the NETIAM conference about "Complexity at molecular level" December 2nd and 3rd at TU/e,Eindhoven,The Netherlands. This event is part of the international NETIAM project (F6). During this conference Virtual Proteins will be demonstrating a simple prototype of our Virtual Proteins MicroLab Basic and will discuss its models for the visualisation of complex dynamic protein molecules in Virtual Reality.

COMPLEXITY AT MOLECULAR LEVEL

This topic underpins much modern research in the biological and material sciences. These subjects are well known to pose mathematical modelling challenges on several length scales, of which the micron scale is generally crucial. However, micron-scale phenomena can be fully addressed only by using information from the molecular level. Examples are the rearrangement of the complex system of protein molecules during the phase change that is crucial to spinning spider silk, and the targetting of different body tissues by drugs, where molecular constituents can distort into complex geometrical shapes. The workshop will consider how to address such questions in the light of ab initio quantum mechanical calculations and new ideas for network-based atomistic and gene modelling.
