A coronavirus envelope all-atom computer model is being developed. The coronavirus model builds on success of all-atom infuenza virus simulations. Molecular dynamics simulations for the coronavirus model tests ran on up to 4,000 nodes, or about 250,000 of Frontera’s processing cores. Full model can help researchers design new drugs, vaccines to combat the coronavirus. Source: […]
