The program for the 2nd International Conference on the Mechanics of Biomaterials & Tissues, to be held on the beautiful island of Kaua'i in December, is now available on the website at www.icmobt.elsevier.com. Network with your fellow researchers working in this exciting field by registering for this well-received meeting. Anybody registering before 26 October is eligible for a 10% discount off the full conference fee.

I look forward to seeing you in Lihue on December 9.

Hi, all

Molecular dynamics (or MC) is a powerful tool in the protein research. There're lots of scientific works in this field, which deepen our understanding gradually. My question follows, "how about the continuum mechaics in protein research".

Any discussions and advices are appreciated.
