Petascale computing and neutroninvestigation – a formidable combinationHow Proteins workDrug Detoxification
Lyzozyme (shown in blue) – a naturalenzyme found in tears saliva and whites– can break down bacterial cell walls(shown in pink). Together computersimulations and neutron experimentsclarify the complicated motions ofproteins such as lyzozyme into threedistinct classes
Simulations combined with inelasticneutron scattering reveal how watermolecules (seen in red) move in and outof the active site (seen in blue) of a P450enzyme. This class of enzymes isresponsible fro detoxifying a largefraction of drugs taken by humans
