This book is the third volume in this highly successful series. Since the first volume in 1989 and the second in 1993, many exciting developments have
occurred in the development of simulation techniques and their application to key biological problems such as
protein folding,
protein structure prediction and structure-based design, and in how, by combining experimental and theoretical approaches, very large biological systems can be studied at the molecular level. This series attempts to capture that progress. Volume 3 includes contributions that highlight developments in methodology which enable longer and more realistic simulations (e.g. multiple time steps and variable reduction
