Analysis of Polymer Characteristics through C++ Computational Methods
ISEF · 2018 Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
Overview
Protein folding and computational origami are gradually becoming revolutionary fields. With our ability to computationally analyze minuscule biological structures, we are making significant progress toward understanding how life works. I aimed to contribute to the field by analyzing polymers through C++ programming. I created a random initial polymer structure, and I calculated the energy expended by moving a particular random bond. This change in energy was used to calculate whether a move could be accepted by a Monte Carlo method. The end-to-end distances and spring constants of the polymers analyzed were calculated.
