The molecular details involved in the folding, dynamics, organization, and interaction of
proteins with other molecules are often difficult to assess by experimental techniques …

Exploring recent developments in the field, Coarse-Graining of Condensed Phase and
Biomolecular Systems examines systematic ways of constructing coarse-grained …

Protein folding is considered here by studying the dynamics of the folding of the triple β-
strand WW domain from the Formin-binding protein 28. Starting from the unfolded state and …

We report on the organization and outcome of the fourth blind test of crystal structure
prediction, an international collaborative project organized to evaluate the present state in …

A unified coarse-grained model of three major classes of biological molecules—proteins,
nucleic acids, and polysaccharides—has been developed. It is based on the observations …

By eliminating unnecessary degrees of freedom, coarse-grained (CG) models tremendously
facilitate numerical calculations and theoretical analyses of complex phenomena. However …
