*Coarse-Graining of Condensed Phase and Biomolecular Systems
Edited by Gregory A. Voth, 2009

Covers the latest developments in the coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation and modeling of condensed phase and biomolecular systems
Presents the main approaches to coarse-graining, including minimalist, inversion, and multiscale
Connects atomic-level information with new coarse-grained representations of complex systems, such as lipid bilayers, proteins, peptides, and DNA
Describes the emerging challenges of coarse-graining, including the degree of “believable” predictive power of coarse-grained models and their transferability between dissimilar systems*
