Background Simulating motion at the atomic level reveals in detail how proteins carry out their functions. Geometric simulation generates collective movements of atoms that preserve the geometric constraints dictated by chemistry. I am working towards combining geometric simulation with protein molecular mechanics force fields, enabling exploration of the energetically-accessible subset of geometrically-accessible states. This could provide new ways of generating conformational change pathways. |
