Like Sydney Altman 1 , I too was initially rejected by the renowned Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England. The year was 1967 and I was then in my final year of a B.Sc. degree in Physics at Kings College in London. Enthralled by John Kendrew's BBC 1964 television series " The Thread of Life " , I wanted desperately to do my Ph.D. at the MRC in Cambridge. Alas there was no room for any new postgraduate students in 1967! After some negotiations, I was… Expand

Guest Editorial: Computational Molecular Biophysics: 40 Years of Achievements
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2013 was shared by three people in recognition of their seminal work more than 40 years ago, which established the foundations for computational investigations of the… Expand
The 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Celebrates Computations in Chemistry and Biology
It was an exciting day for the fields of computational chemistry and biology when news of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry filtered in early on the morning of October 9, 2013. Awarded to Martin… Expand

TLDR
A detailed understanding of the action of biological molecules is a pre-requisite for rational advances in health sciences and related fields and the coupling between the electrostatic effects of the quantum and classical subsystems has been a key to the advances in describing the functions of enzymes and other biological molecules. Expand
The rise and fall of the idea of genetic information (1948-2006)
On 26 June 2000, during the presentation of the Human Genome Project's first draft, Bill Clinton, then President of the United States, claimed that "today we are learning the language in which God… Expand
Computational geometry for the determination of biomolecular structures
Structural biology has allowed us expand our knowledge of living organisms. It is defined as the investigation of the structure and function of biological systems at the molecular level. Studying a… Expand
Models in biology: ‘accurate descriptions of our pathetic thinking’
TLDR
This essay will begin by trying to dispel the myth that quantitative modeling is somehow foreign to biology, and point out the distinction between forward and reverse modeling, and focus thereafter on the former. Expand
Investigating protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions by molecular dynamics simulations
TLDR
This workgroup uses molecular dynamics simulations to study proteins of biological and medical relevance, e.g. signal transduction proteins or human integrin complexes, and to understand the basic and essential mechanisms behind the mode of action of the authors' target systems. Expand
Computational Structural Biology of Macromolecular Interactions
TLDR
Current developments in low-resolution experimental structure determination methods, such as cryo-electron microscopy and small-angle x-ray scattering, set the stage for integrative modeling protocols that can combine several sources of data, bridge different resolutions and different types of information, and offer an holistic view of the biological molecular machines.

TLDR
This issue of PNAS shows the utility of a new generation of model systems for protein folding in which a small model protein (the WW domain) can be tuned from simple two-state behavior to more complex three-state folding merely by changing the temperature. Expand
Evolutionary Inference of Biological Systems Accelerated on Graphics Processing Units
TLDR
The results presented in this thesis show that these novel evolutionary-based and GPU-accelerated methodologies are indeed feasible and advantageous from both the points of view of inference quality and computational performances. Expand

SCOP: a structural classification of proteins database for the investigation of sequences and structures.
TLDR
This database provides a detailed and comprehensive description of the structural and evolutionary relationships of the proteins of known structure and provides for each entry links to co-ordinates, images of the structure, interactive viewers, sequence data and literature references. Expand

TLDR
Sidney Altman studied ribonuclease P (RNase P), a ribonucleoprotein that is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of tRNA and is involved in processing all species of t RNA and is present in all cells and organelles that carry out tRNA synthesis. Expand
A general method applicable to the search for similarities in the amino acid sequence of two proteins.
TLDR
A computer adaptable method for finding similarities in the amino acid sequences of two proteins has been developed and it is possible to determine whether significant homology exists between the proteins to trace their possible evolutionary development. Expand
Theoretical studies of enzymic reactions: dielectric, electrostatic and steric stabilization of the carbonium ion in the reaction of lysozyme.
TLDR
Electrostatic stabilization is an important factor in increasing the rate of the reaction step that leads to the formation of the carbonium ion intermediate, found in the cleavage of a glycosidic bond by lysozyme. Expand
Consistent Force Field for Calculations of Conformations, Vibrational Spectra, and Enthalpies of Cycloalkane and n‐Alkane Molecules

A rapid refinement procedure capable of deriving the stable conformation of a macromolecule from experimental model co-ordinates is presented and a set of non-bonded potential functions applicable to the equilibrium of a folded protein in an aqueous medium is described and tested on myoglobin.

It is proposed that the prelumirhodopsin intermediate contains a strained all-trans retinal molecule produced directly and rapidly from the 11-cis, 12-s-trans conformation in r Rhodopsin by a bicycle-pedal isomerisation. Expand
Dynamics of folded proteins
TLDR
The dynamics of a folded globular protein have been studied by solving the equations of motion for the atoms with an empirical potential energy function and suggest that the protein interior is fluid-like in that the local atom motions have a diffusional character. Expand
