The rise of computational biology
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The era of computer simulations (CS) started with the development of the first digital computers in ‘40s and ’50s (for example, MANIAC (stands for “Mathematical and Numerical Integrator and Computer) computer in Los Alamos). First Molecular Dynamics simulations were reported in 1956. Now CS are the standard tool for studying diverse set of problems. The need in CS arises because very few problems in science afford analytical (“pencil and paper”) solution.

Design, Modeling and Computational Analysis of crRNA to Regulate MetastamiR-10b and MetastamiR-126 in Post-transcriptional Level by CRISPR-C2c2 (Cas13a) Technique
Introduction: Metastasis is one the most important causes of mortality in cancer patients. Recent studies have shown the metastatic potential of a specific group of microRNAs called metastamirs. miR-126 is shown to be correlated with the colorectal liver metastasis. Also, overexpression of miR-10b has been reported in metastatic breast cancer. Therefore, down regulation of these miRNAs at tra...

متن کاملProposal of lateral load pattern for pushover analysis of RC buildings
The proposal lateral load pattern for pushover analysis is given in two forms for symmetric concrete buildings: 1-(X/H)0.5 for low-rise and mid-rise buildings, 2- Sin(ΠX/H) for high-rise buildings. These two forms give more realistic results as compared to conventional load patterns such as triangular and uniform load patterns. The assumed buildings of 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 30 story concrete bui...
متن کاملStructural insights into the effects of charge-reversal substitutions at the surface of horseradish peroxidase
Horseradish peroxidase (HRP), has gained significant interests in biotechnology, especially in biosensor field and diagnostic test kits. Hence, its solvent-exposed lysine residues 174, 232, and 241 have been frequently modified with the aim of improving its stability and catalytic efficiency. In this computational study, we investigated the effects of Lys-to-Glu substitutions on HRP structure t...
متن کاملThe EM Algorithm and the Rise of Computational Biology
In the past decade computational biology has grown from a cottage industry with a handful of researchers to an attractive interdisciplinary field, catching the attention and imagination of many quantitatively-minded scientists. Of interest to us is the key role played by the EM algorithm during this transformation. We survey the use of the EM algorithm in a few important computational biology p...
متن کاملThe Importance of α-CT and Salt bridges in the Formation of Insulin and its Receptor Complex by Computational Simulation
Insulin hormone is an important part of the endocrine system. It contains two polypeptide chains and plays a pivotal role in regulating carbohydrate metabolism. Insulin receptors (IR) located on cell surface interacts with insulin to control the intake of glucose. Although several studies have tried to clarify the interaction between insulin and its receptor, the mechanism of this interaction r...
