    Geometric models for secondary structures in proteins (English)
    0 references
    The authors create a model for beta barrels, secondary structures in proteins. The model is based on the generalized Willmore equation. They first discuss beta barrels to provide the background on the biological impetus to the project. They then introduce the generalized Willmore equation. Next, the authors apply the generalized Willmore equation to beta barrels and discuss the numerical stability of the application.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 1317.00020].
