Central to understanding membrane bound cell signaling is to quantify how the membrane ultra-structure consisting of transient spatial domains modulates signaling and how the signaling influences this ultra-structure. Yet, measuring the…

We demonstrate that the recently proposed pruned-enriched Rosenbluth method PERM (P.~Grassberger, Phys.~Rev.~{\bf E 56} (1997) 3682) leads to very efficient algorithms for the folding of simple model proteins. We test it on several models…
We propose an algorithmic strategy for improving the efficiency of Monte Carlo searches for the low-energy states of proteins. Our strategy is motivated by a model of how proteins alter their shapes. In our model when proteins fold under…
