Description:
This project demonstrates the interaction between a virtual reality system and a molecular dynamics program running on a supercomputer. The programs are capable of simulating very fast macromolecular assemblies for studies in structural biology. The new generation of parallel machines allows one to simulate the response of biological macromolecules to small structural perturbations, administered through the virtual reality system, within a short time, even for molecules of a few thousand atoms.
