: A recent workshop titled ‘‘Quantitative Computational Biophysics’’ at Florida State University provided an overview of the state of the art in quantitative modeling of biomolecular systems. The presentations covered a wide range of interrelated topics, including the development and validation of force fields, the modeling of protein– protein interactions, the sampling of conformational space, and the assessment of equilibration and statistical errors. Substantial progress in all these areas was reported. q 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
