Multimolecule test-tube simulations of protein unfolding and aggregation

McCully M.E., Beck D.A.C., Daggett V.
PNAS 109:17851, 2012
Molecular dynamics simulations of protein folding or unfolding, unlike most in vitro experimental methods, are performed on a single molecule. The effects of neighboring molecules on the unfolding/folding pathway are largely ignored experimentally and simply not modeled computationally. More...
Goals: Realistic simulation of protein dynamics, unfolding/folding, and conformational transitions linked to disease.
