Nano-machines for ‘bionic proteins’

Physicists of the University of Vienna together with researchers from the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna developed nano-machines which recreate principal activities of proteins. They present the first versatile and modular example of a fully artificial protein-mimetic model system, thanks to the Vienna Scientific Cluster, a high performance computing infrastructure. These «bionic proteins» could play an important role in innovating pharmaceutical research. The results h…
