Protein structure prediction by an iterative search method
Ivan C. Rankenburg, Veit Elser
We demonstrate a new algorithm for finding protein conformations that minimize a non-bonded energy function. The new algorithm, called the difference map, seeks to find an atomic c…

Deconstructing the energy landscape: new algorithms for folding heteropolymers
Veit Elser, Ivan Rankenburg
We apply the computational methodology of phase retrieval to the problem of folding heteropolymers. The ground state fold of the polymer is defined by the intersection of two sets…

The Influence of Shape on Ordering of Granular Systems in Two Dimensions
I. C. Rankenburg, R. J. Zieve
We investigate ordering properties of two-dimensional granular materials using several shapes created by welding ball bearings together. Ordered domains form much more easily in tw…
