Proton Tunneling in Molecular Biophysics Rensselaer RPI researchers have employed the SCOREC supercomputing cluster to conduct advanced modeling of protein folding dynamics which incorporates quantum mechanical effects to study the influence of proton tunneling in enzyme catalysis. The group's initial study of intein's role in C-termini protein folding will be used to develop nanoscale switches for applications ranging from drug delivery to novel sensors.
