Simulations in Nanobiotechnology (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781138374379)

Until recently, computational studies of biomolecules and nanomaterials have considered the two subjects separately. This book provides insights into computational simulations of biomolecules and nanomaterials collectively. It also examines novel modeling concepts at the nano-bio-interface: interactions between biomolecules and nanomaterials, such as DNA-wrapped nanotubes, nanobiosensors, and biomimetic materials. Expert contributors from around the world address such important topics as the molecular dynamics of protein translocation, coarse-grained modeling of CNT-DNA interaction, multi-scale modeling of nanowire resonator sensors, and the molecular dynamics simulation of protein mechanics.
