  18. Having puzzled the scientists for decades, the protein folding problem remains a grand challenge of modern science. The protein folding problem may be studied through MD simulation under certain boundary conditions. An efficient optimization algorithm may be developed to obtain a fast fold by exploiting the special structure of protein energy landscape. The successful simulation of protein folding requires correct physics, efficient and accurate algorithms, and sufficient computing power.
