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

Institution:

Institution

Research Group:

Computational Photobiology Lab (CPL)

Researcher/s:

Carles Curutchet
Özge Ergün

Description:

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

Value Proposition:

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

Aplication areas:

Structure-based drug design

Target market:

Pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies

Technology Readiness Level (1-9): 2
