Computational biomodeling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Computational biomodeling refers to a type of artificial life research concerned with building computer simulations of biochemical systems. It combines research from the fields of molecular biology, computer science, chemistry, and physics. The immediate goal is to understand how cells develop, work collectively, and survive in changing environments using a purely computational model.
Computational biomodeling is in its infancy. One of the major stumbling blocks is understanding protein folding which is currently being researched by the BlueGene and Folding@home projects.
