Dear all,

This is a notification for a special session on Multi-resolution
Modeling of Biological Macromolecules Session of the Pacific Symposium
on Biocomputing (PSB), to be held January 4-8, 2010, on the Big Island
of Hawaii.
PSB brings together top researchers from North America, the Asian
Pacific nations, Europe and around the world to exchange research
results and address open issues in all aspects of computational
biology.

The field of molecular modeling has long recognized modeling folding,
assembly, and long-time dynamics of large macromolecules as its
biggest challenge, since it is precisely at large size and long time
scales that computational methods are most challenged.  In response,
many methods have been developed to reduce the computational cost by
coarsening the granularity of the problem.  Inevitably accuracy
remains limited for these methods and so in recent years a consensus
has emerged that we should work at more than one level of resolution,
often simultaneously, in an approach known as multi-resolution
modeling.  Our session is intended to represent the late breaking work
in this emerging field. With that in mind, we cordially invite you to
submit a manuscript on your relevant work.

Submission topics can include, but are not limited to:

    * Structure prediction
    * Dynamics
    * Molecular assemblies
    * Analysis

Other topics within the subject area are welcome.

More on the session topics and submissions can be found at
http://psb.stanford.edu/cfp_multiresmol.html
Please note that paper submissions are due on July 13, 2009.

We hope that you or members of your team will submit a paper. Should
you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any of the
co-chairs of the meeting.

With best wishes!

Cochairs: Julie Bernauer, Samuel Flores, Xuhui Huang, Seokmin Shin,
and Ruhong Zhou
