Computer simulations and visualizations are performing the thought experiments of the 21st century and pushing the limits of human vision and imagination. In silico simulations are probably future of many complex biological experiments.

Thanks for posting that video. It was really quite interesting. I’ve been working on molecular dynamics simulations of HIV-1 Reverse Trancriptase in order to better understand flexibility and formation of the allosteric binding pocket for an honours project. Watching this, specifically the ribozyme function, I see MD being used on a much larger scale. Its fascinating.

Glad that you enjoyed the animation. You might also enjoy this talk:
http://stochastix.wordpress.com/2006/11/15/new-architectures-for-a-new-biology-by-david-e-shaw/
which is about mlecular dynamics, computational chemistry, computational drug design and so on. BTW, in your post above, you linked to my collection of “systems biology” posts, not to the blog itself (dunno if it was intentional, but anyways, it’s pretty much irrelevant).
Cheers!
