Subject: [AMBER] Great news!
Hi Everyone
The Amber developers' team is happy to announce a breakthrough that will
change the way we do simulations.
About one year ago, we started building an Amber-specific quantum computer
(QAMBER) in the basement of Jason Swails' home, making use of the low
temperatures in Pennsylvania. Last weekend we finally had a working port of
Amber.
Our first test was to create the full sequence of a ribosome a big water
box. We saw the ribosome fold and assemble itself in a matter of seconds !
We then got greedy, and added some mRNA and some loose aminoacids. We saw
spontaneous translation of that mRNA into a protein, which proceeded to fold
itself into the correct structure.
We are still discussing exactly what water/ions model is best, but we feel
this is a breakthrough worth celebrating as a community.
Donations towards Jason's electric bill for the superconducting magnets are
welcome.
Adrian
