At the intersection of bioinformatics and multi-agent systems (MAS), the ProteinSync framework is proposed for distributed molecular dynamics simulation of proteins. Computational agents dynamically redistribute atomic domains based on local computational load, reducing protein folding simulation time by 41% compared to OpenMM [4] on the same hardware budget.
