Sentences with phrase «folded nanoseconds»

Computer simulations at the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) helped the researchers visualize what was going on: where the water moved a certain way, the protein folded nanoseconds later, as if the water molecules were nudging the protein into shape.

Not exact matches

Water molecules typically flow around each other at picosecond speeds, while proteins fold at nanosecond speeds — 1,000 times slower.
