ACCOMPLISHMENTS
- Developed macromolecular version
Multibody Order (N) Dynamics (MBO(N)D) using internal funds and
a $2M Phase III grant from NIST/ATP funds
- Breakthrough solving equations
used in the simulation of large molecules for long time periods
- Achieved 100 times speedup in
simulating molecular dynamics
|
COMMERCIALIZATION
- Commercial potential in drug
design was far greater than the original application of man machine
interaction dynamics and performance analysis tool
- Photon Research Associates has
spun off Moldyn, Inc. to commercial develop this technology
- Commercial release of MBO(N)D
code for Fall 1997 through Molecular Simulations, Inc., a major
world-wide computational chemistry software retailer
- 1998 estimated sales - $2M
|
GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE
APPLICATIONS
- Innovative polymers, composites
for aerospace of interest to NASA Langley Research Center
- Biochemical molecular for sensing
and computation - DoD
- Nanostructured materials of
interest to NASA Ames Research Center, DoD and DoE
- Drugs for public health and
military needs
