Advanced Computational Strategies

For the evaluation of [3] (Step 5 of Algorithm 8.1) Sylvester s expansion formula should be used only if the number of components is small (3 or 4 say). For larger problems the use of power series as discussed in Appendix A. 6 is recommended (Taylor and Webb, 1981). The power series expansions (Eqs. A.6.4 and A.6.7) may be used if the eigenvalues of [T ] are repeated or are complex with no special treatment and should be the default methods in any computer program that performs the relevant computations.

Because this problem is complex several avenues of attack have been devised in the last fifteen years. A combination of experimental developments (protein engineering, advances in x-ray and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), various time-resolved spectroscopies, single molecule manipulation methods) and theoretical approaches (use of statistical mechanics, different computational strategies, use of simple models) [5, 6 and 7] has led to a greater understanding of how polypeptide chains reach the native confonnation. 

Host computers. These are the most powerful computers in the system, capable of performing func tions not normally available in other units. They act as the arbitrator unit to route internodal communications. An operator interface is supported and various peripheral devices are coordinated. Computationally intensive tasks, such as optimization or advanced control strategies, are processed here.

The modes of thinking about structures and reactions and intermediates facilitated or even demanded by these conceptual innovations meshed productively with new tools of a different sort to drive the progress of recent decades. Advances in electronics and computers, all sorts of spectroscopy, laser optics and physics, chromatography, mass spectrometry, quantum theory and computational strategies, molecular beam experiments, and so on, radically expanded the limits of experimental and theoretical investigations.
