How to simulate protein recognition

A research group in Innsbruck is striving to obtain a better understanding, in biophysical terms, of biomolecular recognition processes in the body – for instance between enzymes and proteins. The results could lead to new biological therapeutics that can interact with the organism with great specificity. Continue reading “How to simulate protein recognition”
