DESCRIPTION:The development multiscale models for complex chemical systems
  began in 1975 with publications by Warshel and Levitt recently recognized
  by the 2013 Nobel Committee for Chemistry.  The simplifications used then
  at the dawn of the age of computational structural biology were mandated 
 by computers that were almost a billion times less cost-effective than tho
 se we use today.  These same multiscale models have become increasingly po
 pular in application that range from simulation of atomic protein motion\,
  to protein folding and explanation of enzyme catalysis.  In this talk I d
 escribe the origins computational structural biology and then go on to sho
 w some of the most exciting current and future applications.
