Dear all,
?
I would like to do moelcular dyanmics of nuclosome complex consists of? histones ocatamer and 146 bp of DNA. The total amino acids are 773 +146 bp of DNA. 
I want to study the effect of histone variants on the size and shape of octamer which leads to change in DNA binding to octamer. The variation in the histone will be not more that 8-10 residues.
Thus I would like to know how much simualtion time in nano-seconds will it require to converge the MD and able to see capture the change in octamer packaging leads to change in overall shape of histone. How this change can be monitored? Also?how the?DNA histone interactions can be measured?. Does nano or micro seconds simulation can be performed for such a big system on workstation with 2 GPU (Tesla from nvidia)? Or it will require big clusters?
Please comments on my queries?

-------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS -----------------

The 2nd IEEE Internacional Workshop of Smart Communication Protocols and Algorithms (IEEE SCPA 2012 - Summer)
June 10-15, 2012, Ottawa, CANADA
In conjunction with IEEE ICC 2012
http://scpa.it.ubi.pt/2012

Selected papers will be invited to the Special Issue on Smart Protocols and Algorithms of the International Journal Network Protocols and Algorithms (ISSN 1943-3581)

Communication protocols and algorithms are needed to communicate network devices and exchange data between them. The appearance of new technologies usually comes with a protocol procedure and communication rules that allows data communication while taking profit of this new technology. Recent advances in hardware and communication mediums allow proposing new rules, conventions and data structures which could be used by network devices to communicate across the network. Moreover, devices with higher processing capacity let us include more complex algorithms that can be used by the network device to enhance the communication procedure.

Smart communication protocols and algorithms make use of several methods and techniques (such as machine learning techniques, decision making techniques, knowledge representation, network management, network optimization, problem solution techniques, and so on), to communicate the network devices to transfer data between them. They can be used to perceive the network conditions, or the user behavior, in order to dynamically plan, adapt, decide, take the appropriate actions, and learn from the consequences of its actions. The algorithms can make use of the information gathered from the protocol in order to sense the environment, plan actions according to the input, take consciousness of what is happening in the environment, and take the appropriate decisions using a reasoning engine. Goals such as decide which scenario fits best its end-to-end purpose, or environment prediction, can be achieved with smart protocols and algorithms. Moreover, they could learn from the past and !
 use this knowledge to improve futur
e decisions.

In this workshop, researchers are encouraged to submit papers focused on the design, development, analysis or optimization of smart communication protocols or algorithms at any communication layer. Algorithms and protocols based on artificial intelligence techniques for network management, network monitoring, quality of service enhancement, performance optimization and network secure are included in the workshop. 

We welcome technical papers presenting analytical research, simulations, practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, and papers addressing the key problems and solutions. The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, deployments, implementations, running experiments and applications.

The International Symposium on Health Informatics and Bioinformatics,
(HIBIT), now in its seventh year (HIBIT 2012), aims to bring together
academicians, researchers and practitioners who work in these popular
and fulfilling areas and to create the much-needed synergy among
medical, biological and information technology sectors. HIBIT is one
of the few international conferences on this subject in the world;
therefore international participation from all around the world is
anticipated. HIBIT provides a forum for discussion, exploration and
development of both theoretical and practical aspects of health
informatics and bioinformatics and a chance to network with others
working and researching in this area.

*Dear Friends of the BioBricks Foundation,*

The BioBricks Foundation<http://biobricks.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b703a65bcfd5282409f58de2e&id=723999cc38&e=680516baa2>(BBF)
is a public-benefit organization dedicated to advancing synthetic
biology (SynBio) to benefit all people and the planet. We work to create a
sustainable future by standardizing biological parts that are safe,
ethical, cost effective and publicly accessible. *Your enthusiastic
involvement in the SynBio community and the work of the BBF makes a crucial
difference.*

*The BBF is a young organization that has produced results.* This year, we
successfully created the first-in-the-world BioBrick? Public
Agreement<http://biobricks.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=b703a65bcfd5282409f58de2e&id=ab725d6221&e=680516baa2>(BPA),
a legal tool that enables the free exchange and use of standard
biological parts.
BIOFAB<http://biobricks.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b703a65bcfd5282409f58de2e&id=3639ca0ee7&e=680516baa2>,
our first professional research collaboration, has produced reliable,
standardized biological parts that constitute a free operating system for
biotechnology. In addition, the BBF also manages
OpenWetWare<http://biobricks.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=b703a65bcfd5282409f58de2e&id=ec6bd1b2aa&e=680516baa2>(OWW),
an open-source wiki that facilitates teaching, learning, and sharing
of data for 9,000 researchers through a culture of collaboration and open
science. That?s not all. Just this past June, the BBF successfully
organized SB 5.0<http://biobricks.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b703a65bcfd5282409f58de2e&id=21f8112205&e=680516baa2>,
an inspiring 3-day global conference in SynBio with the participation of
over 70 international speakers and 730 attendees from over 25 countries.

With 2012 approaching, the BBF plans to do even more to support and connect
our SynBio community, promoting the effectiveness of OWW, creating new
educational programs, and much more. *We need your help to make these goals
a reality.*

support this exciting work, *the BBF has launched a fundraising campaign to
raise $50K by December 31, 2011*. Thanks to a generous donor, we?ve already
raised $8K toward our goal. That leaves just $42K to go!

*Your gift of $10, $20, $50, $100, or any amount will have a big
impact.*With your help, the BBF will have resources to conduct such
activities as
launching OWW2.0, providing scholarships to young researchers for SB 6.0,
hosting workshops on exciting themes, and launching initiatives to unite
global BIOFABs and create a road map for the field of SynBio. The time to
give is now. *Make a secure, online donation to the BBF
today.<http://biobricks.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b703a65bcfd5282409f58de2e&id=4ccfd6e35e&e=680516baa2>
*

**We live in a world with limited natural resources. Striving to build a
sustainable world is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. SynBio may hold
the key to our future. The BBF fills a unique need in this field,
educating, building community, creating legal tools, and fostering
cooperation. *Please act now by making a personal financial
gift<http://biobricks.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b703a65bcfd5282409f58de2e&id=66b583c8f2&e=680516baa2>to
support the BBF.

We?ll let you know our progress in meeting our campaign goal. *Thank you so
much for your support.*
