Structure-based simulation of Förster Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) properties from Molecular Dynamics (MD) trajectories combined with polarizable QM/MM models for excited states, and then validation of the MD ensembles by comparison of experimental and simulated FRET efficiencies
FRET characterization of protein ensembles and protein-ligand binding
Assessment of protein-ligand binding sites/modes and protein conformational preferences through FRET experiments and multiscale simulations

Description:
Type of asset:
Category:
Problem:
Validate atomistic structural models of protein-ligand binding and protein conformational ensembles
Solution:
Validate structural models by FRET experiments and simulations
Aplication areas:
Structure-based drug design
Novelty:
Validation of MD ensembles with FRET experiments based on the direct comparison of spectroscopic properties, not on the comparison of donor-acceptor distances derived with Förster approximation from the experiments
Protection:
N/A
