Membrane fusion and the SNARE protein complex

Utilizing DEISA computing resources, Marc Baaden, his research team in Paris, France, and colleagues from France, the United Kingdom and Austria, have modeled a protein complex that acts as a catalyst in the fusion of two membranes. This exceptionally complex model could not have been constructed without the distributed European computation capacity offered by DEISA. Understanding the functioning of proteins will open up new opportunities for pharmaceutical development. (5.11.2007) Read more and download the article in rtf format.
