I am always amazed at the complexity of biological structures. There is so much freedom at the atomic level and we sometimes forget that until we find out how difficult it is to simulate the motions with computer. This article shows attempts to simulate protein functions using graphics processing units. This is the 2nd article I have read recently on using gaming technology for something other than… well… gaming.
