✦ Synopsis

Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to study the conformations of the pentapeptide fragments of normal adult (Thr-Pro-Glu-Glu-Lys) and sickle-like anemia hemoglobin (Thr-Pro-Val-Glu-Lys). The results show that the energy optimized conformation of normal adult hemoglobin-fragment agrees with the X-ray experiment and the theoretically determined conformation of the sickle-like anemia hemoglobin-fragment is identical with the conformation of the normal adult hemoglobin-fragment.

## Abstract Monte Carlo studies of the unperturbed amylosic chain conformation have been carried out in the approximation of separable chain configuration energies. Sample chains of arbitrary chain length have been generated so as to be distributed consistent with refined estimates of the configura

In this article we explore the use of a Monte Carlo technique for the solution of the stream function in a two-dimensional inviscid fluid flow problem. We found that the technique is relatively easy to use and can achieve acceptable accuracy if enough random samples are taken. Classroom applications
