Design and computational flexibility
This article discusses three levels of computer use—literacy, fluency and flexibility. Literacy is about the use of particular tools to satisfy well-defined tasks while fluency is a deeper form of knowledge that allows people to adapt to the uncertainties of computing and keep up with new, technological trends. Computational flexibility suggests the further capacity to invent software when exis...
متن کاملStudies on Polynucleotides Synthesized by Polynucleotide Phosphorylase
The preparation of synthetic ribonucleic acid in which one of the nucleotide species is labeled with P32, makes possible studies on the distribution of the labeled nucleotide in the polynucleotide chain. Fig. 1 presents the structure of a polynucleotide in which labeled adenylic acid is randomly distributed. Hydrolysis of such a polymer with snake venom phosphodiesterase (Fig. 1A) will yield a ...
متن کاملComputational studies of carbon decorated boron nitride nanocones
Density functional theory ,(DFT) calculations have been performed to investigate the properties ofcarbon decorated (C-decorated) models of boron nitride (BN) nanocones. To this aim, the apex andtip of nanocone have been substituted by the carbon atoms to represent the C-decorated models. Theresults indicated that dipole moments and energy gaps could reveal the effects of C-decorations onthe pro...
متن کاملA computational study of nucleosomal DNA flexibility.
Molecular dynamics simulations of the nucleosome core particle and its isolated DNA free in solution are reported. The simulations are based on the implicit solvent methodology and provide insights into the nature of large-scale structural fluctuations and flexibility of the nucleosomal DNA. In addition to the kinked regions previously identified in the x-ray structure of the nucleosome, the si...
متن کاملAccommodating protein flexibility in computational drug design.
The need to account for the dynamic behavior of a receptor has long been recognized as a complicating factor in computational drug design. The use of a single, rigid protein structure—usually from a high-quality X-ray crystal structure— still is the standard in most applications (Zheng and Kyle, 1997; Walters et al., 1998). The choice to use a single protein structure is usually based on speed....
