Coupled with mathematical modelling, this discipline lends itself towards the precision engineering of new synthetic life. The next stages...

... modelling protocol (HGMP) and the fragment molecular orbital (FMO) quantum mechanics (QM) method to explore the interactions and selectivity of the human orexin-2 receptor (OX 2 R) and its recently discovered nonpeptidic agonists. HGMP generates a 3D model of GPCR structures and its complexes with small...

... chemicals, particularly during the early research phase. Recently, the Multi-scale framework for Sustainable Industrial Chemicals (MuSIC) was introduced to address this issue by integrating modelling approaches at different scales ranging from cellular to ecological scales. This framework can be further...

... that can be achieved by combining the two methods are highlighted, and a brief methodological background is also presented. This label flexibility also challenges structural modelling, because different structural behavior (different protein conformation vs. changes in label conformational distribution...

...Igor Goryanin Modelling and optimization principles become a key concept in many biological areas, especially in biochemistry. Definitions of objective function, fitness and co-evolution, although they differ between biology and mathematics, are similar in a general sense. Although successful...

Because we have full knowledge of the underlying ‘biochemistry’ of these models, we are better able to judge how well the analyses reflect true knowledge about the system...
