The system comprises an input means (57) such as a keyboard for specifying (entering) selected amino acid sequences and other data such as temperature and fold preferences, a RAM (random access memory) (59) for storing such data, a ROM (read-only memory) (61) with a stored program, a CRT (cathode ray tube) (63) display unit and/or printer (65) an optional auxiliary disc storage device (67) for storage of relevant data bases, and a microprocessor (69) for processing the entered data, for simulating, under control of the stored program, the folding of the protein from its unfolded state to its folded (tertiary) state, and for displaying via the display unit (or printer) tertiary conformations of the protein in three dimensions. |
