whats up with biocomputers?

Biocomputers are the ones similar to any other computer. The only difference is that it possess chips to which attached are DNA/RNA or proteins. In some cases microfluids are used to do many standard laboratory tests. The chips that are used in other computers have electronic circuits embedded in it.

I think it is a very good website.\n\nhttp://www.ncrr.nih.gov/biomedical_tech.asp

I believe that this is a lot to do with modelling biological/chemical processes on computer, and using this to answer biotech questions, rather than in the lab.\nSo for example, you may model various molecules, and then look for ways that these molecular structures fit with other viral molecular sturctures, to try and produce a vaccine that would block the virus's ability to transmit itself. It involves an ability in biochemistry, and powerful computer networks to analyse all possible matches.

Well, there are three perspectives to your question, which are as follows :\n\n(1)A super computer\n(2)A desktop computer\n(3)Anything in a general sense that can compute.\n\nFor the third perspective, The fastest computer in the world is much faster than the desktop in front of you, and it is sitting right on top of your shoulders! The human brain is an amazing computing device and the fastest processor available right now. \n\nIn supercomputers, the BlueGene/L - eServer Blue Gene Solution stationed at DOE/NNSA/LLNL at Livermore in California is ruling the world. It has, hold on your breath, 131072 processors,each processor with an individual performance of 2.8 GigaFlops (PowerPC 440 700 MHz). It has a main memory of 32768 GB and is 3 times more powerful in processing than its immediate competitor (Also by IBM). Surprisingly, its still in expansion phase. Blue Gene is an IBM Research project dedicated to exploring the frontiers in supercomputing: in computer architecture, in the software required to program and control massively parallel systems, and in the use of computation to advance our understanding of important biological processes such as protein folding.\n\nAs for the fastest desktop configuration, it keeps changing every now and then. An interesting fact to note, Intel had come up with 4GHz chip, but could not commercialize it because of the excessive heating which could damage the chip. Hope to see such a chip soon. As on 6th January 2006, Xi MTower 64 AGE-SLI is considered to be the fastest desktop Computer. Equipped with a 2.4-GHz Athlon 64 X2 4800+ CPU, 2GB of DDR400 SDRAM, a single EVGA E-GeForce 6800 Ultra graphics card, and two 300GB hard drives striped in a RAID 0 array, The $3897 gaming and graphics system justifies its high price with lots of speed and excellent expandability. You can read a review on it the given sources.

look at bioinformatics that is a big step for I.T in medicine the creation of drugs with learning algorithms there is a hell of alot of stuff out there.\n\nCommunity for bioinformatics:\nhttp://bioinformatics.org/\n\nGeneral information about the subject:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioinformatics\n\nI also look up computer statistical models used to for patients treatment being computerised I don't really have an any sites that may help for this one but if u look in google u should be able to find information, also databases for patients records etc.\n\nHowever Bioinformatics would have a lot of interesting subjects so you should look into that.

you use a 3d molecular bio particle scanner.  most of your high end medical research facilities will have one. just call and ask for scanning

You will need to know both, since as time goes on, molecular behavior can be computer-predicted, the two fields are becoming inseparable. Prior to wetlab research, lenghty structural simulations will have been made. Bioinformatics will be more fun if you have a good knowledge of biochemistry.\n\nSupport novel transit solutions: http://www.hallisystem.bravehost.com

Nanobiotechnology: applying the tools and processes of Molecular Nanotechnology to build devices for studying biosystems, in order to learn from biology how to create better nanoscale devices.

Commenting on the above poster's comments, I'd say that there are definitely some differences between biology and engineering.  Bioengineers and biochemical engineers will generally make more money than straight-biologists (excpet at the PhD level) and even they make less than most engineers (except for civil engineers, and while chemical engineering is one of the highest paid majors, the average is bought up by petrochemical engineers, semiconductor engineers, and chemical processing engineers; biotech is one of the lower paid specialties in engineering).\n\nThat being said, biotechnology still offers a great deal of money, and perhaps greater than just the salary is the job security.  Computer scientists and programmers can make a lot of money, but it is clear that they also are highly susceptible to economic downturns and can be laid off in a heart beat.  Pharmaceutical companies and medicine offer a great deal more job security.\n\nAlso, with the exception of healthcare, one should note that the number of places with a large and viable biotech industry are pretty limited.  If you don't want to live in a crowded urban center like San Francisco, Seattle, or Boston, that will greatly change the economic prospects of the major (that's not to say that there is nothing outside of these areas, just considerably less).\n\nUnfortunately, the recent trend in college education has worked to greatly devalue the Bachelor's Degree and make the high school diploma virtually meaningless.  If you want a really great career in biology, I think you should set your sights on an advanced degree.

I use Bio. workbench, but am not familiar with Bestcor. Perhaps that is in the student section; I use the professional section. It si a large, interconnected site, so I hope someone will come along and answer your question.

Sorry but the model TI-83 is an outdated tool, that was used by the Aertms generation, six centuries ago.  This model could only perform 2,000 logic calculations per second.  In this age that is pathetic.  I am sorry all knowledge that is more then 2 centuries old has been deleted from my memory banks.

Not the current kind of computers. Keep mixing animal neurons and metallic parts and we might see something really scary.
