Multiskalenmodellierung biologischer Funktionen: Von Enzymen zu molekularen Maschinen (Nobel‐Aufsatz)

Abstract: Ein detailliertes Verständnis der Wirkung biologischer Moleküle ist eine Voraussetzung für sinnvolle Fortschritte in der Medizin und verwandten Bereichen. Die Herausforderung besteht darin, aus vorhandenen Strukturinformationen zu einem klaren Verständnis der zugrundeliegenden Funktion des Systems zu gelangen. In Anbetracht der Komplexität von Makromolekülen sind Computersimulationen unentbehrlich, um den Zusammenhang zwischen den molekularen Kräfte und einer bestimmten Funktion zu beschreiben. Allerdings ist … Show more

“…We now return to ap oint brought up in the introductory paragraphs.S olvent reorganization, as opposed to molecular interaction, has been dogmatically set forth by others as the sole source of enzymatic accelerations.
