Description

Sunhwan Jo, Taehoon Kim and Wonpil Im presented an automated builder and database for protein and membrane systems, in PLOS ONE in 2007. Computer simulations of membrane proteins can reveal how they work at the atomic level. Setting up a fair test system, though, is much harder than placing a normal protein in water.

Their tool builds a realistic protein set into a membrane for molecular dynamics simulations, the physics based movies of atoms in motion. A shared database of ready systems saves each lab from starting over. Tools like this quietly speed up drug and basic research on the proteins that sit in cell membranes.
