Abstract:
To accelerate the calculation speed for simulating a biological system, we proposed a novel simulation method, the two-phase partition method, which calculated molecular processes at a higher speed than any other proposed method. This method divides a biological system, which can be described by chemical reaction equations, into two-phases: the binding and reaction phases. We demonstrated the capability of the two-phase partition method to simulate a complex biological system at an extremely high speed and clarified the accuracy of the simulation. The two-phase partition method is very useful for simulating complex interactions among proteins and DNAs.
