Abstract

Molecular dynamics simulations are a powerful tool for investigating dynamics and thus molecular mechanisms in more detail. Here, we want do explore the phototransition of phytochromes and validate experimental results from cryo electron microscopy and time resolved spectroscopy with the help of enhanced sampling techniques. This would elevate the study tremendously, as it combines computational methods with experiments to shed light on the chemical mechanism.
