Two New Mexico State University professors have created a computer software program to generate approximate 3-D models of complex and unknown proteins, allowing biomedical scientists to save time, money and energy that could be spent researching treatments and cures for viruses like influenza or Ebola. Computer Science Professor Son Cao Tran and Computer Science Department Head Enrico Pontelli have developed software to allow scientists to investigate 3-D models of unknown large proteins in significantly less time without the use of lab equipment such as complex microscopes. The software simulates how atoms interact and behave in nature.
