Computational biology and in silico toxicodynamics

In-silico nanobio-design. A new frontier in computational biology.

Nanobiology is a fast-emerging discipline that brings the tools of nanotechnology to the biological sciences. The introduction of new techniques may accelerate the development of highly specific biomedical treatments, increase their efficiency, and minimize their side effects. Introducing foreign bodies into the complex machinery of the human body is, however, a great and humbling challenge, as...

In Silico Biology

Rather than studying existent living systems, we can increasingly produce computer models that capture the salient aspects of life. This provides us with unprecedented opportunities to examine, manipulate, and explore biological phenomena, allowing us to investigate some of the deepest issues in biology.

Integrating Bioinformatics and Computational Biology: Perspectives and Possibilities for In Silico Network Reconstruction in Molecular Systems Biology

There is a flood of molecular data about many aspects of cellular functioning. This data ranges from sequence and structural data to gene and protein regulation data, including time dependent changes in the concentration. Integration of the different datasets through computational methods is required to extract biological information that is relevant from a systems biology perspective. In this ...

Computational Challenges in Biological Sequence Processing and In-silico Molecular Biology Experiments

Biological sequence processing is a key of information technology for molecular biology. This scientific area requires powerful computing resources for exploring large sets of biological data. The huge amount of biological sequences accumulated in the world nucleotide and protein databases requires efficient parallel tools for structural genomic and functional analysis. The paper describes the ...
