The Multiscale Challenge for Biomolecular Systems
Gregory A. Voth
University of Utah
A multiscale theoretical and computational methodology will be presented for characterizing biomolecular systems and assemblies across multiple length- and time-scales. The approach provides a connection between atomistic molecular dynamics, reduced mesoscopic models, and continuum mechanics. At the heart of the methodology is a new and systematic multiscale coarse-graining algorithm for linking the atomistic-scale interactions to the mesoscale and beyond. Applications of the overall approach will be given for biomembrane systems, as well as for cellular cytoskeleton components such as the biopolymers actin and spectrin.
