Birth and Future of Multiscale Modeling for Macromolecular Systems (Nobel Lecture)

The computer industry should have received a share of the 2013 Nobel prize in chemistry as its massive research and development efforts led to unimaginable gains in computer speed (see table). This means that the cost of a particular calculation today is 100 000 000 less than it was at the beginning of Michael Levitt's scientific career as pointed out in his very personal account on the occasion of having received the Nobel prize.
