The activation-relaxation technique for internal coordinate space trajectories (ARTIST) enables complex conformational changes in proteins. This computational method is crucial for understanding protein-protein docking and ligand binding dynamics.

Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Biophysics
  • Molecular Dynamics

Background:

  • Accurate sampling of molecular motions is vital for computational studies like protein-protein docking and ligand binding.
  • Existing methods may face challenges in capturing large-scale conformational changes in complex biological systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the further development and application of the activation-relaxation technique for internal coordinate space trajectories (ARTIST).
  • To demonstrate ARTIST's capability in generating complex and large conformational moves for proteins and protein complexes.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing the activation-relaxation technique to identify and cross saddle points connecting energy minima.
  • Applying ARTIST to simulate conformational changes in all-atom protein systems and protein complexes.
