A model molecular potential-energy surface U(x1, x2)
A model potential-energy surface. My PhD used sum-of-squares optimisation to find guaranteed global minima of such surfaces (J. Chem. Theory Comput., 2006).
Coarse-grained simulation of huntingtin fragment self-assembly
Coarse-grained (dissipative particle dynamics) simulation of huntingtin-fragment self-assembly — the amphiphilicity-driven aggregation behind the PNAS paper (2003).
