<span lang="EN-US">In this project, we will investigate the conformational changes of proteins during binding to ligand molecules with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and Markov state modeling. A challenge for MD simulations of protein binding is that the
typical timescales of the conformational transitions and binding events are in the microsecond and millisecond range, while the timesteps of these simulations are in the femtosecond range. This challenge is addressed by a combination of enhanced sampling and
Markov state modeling techniques that allows the key molecular processes occurring on slow timescales to be characterized.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
