DESCRIPTION:For many years quantum mechanical simulations have been provid
 ing experimentally verifiable predictions in materials science. Recent adv
 ances in computational techniques now allow the accurate modelling of syst
 ems containing many thousands of atoms\, including biological macromolecul
 es such as proteins. I give an overview of work currently in progress in t
 his area in the Theory of Condensed Matter Group. As an example\, I use mo
 lecular dynamics to investigate the atomic-scale mechanisms that determine
  protein adsorption behaviour on implanted silicon surfaces.
