Conformational changes that occurs in protein/nucleic acids controls their function, these changes are often intractable or more difficult to study while using experimental techniques. Molecular modeling and molecular dynamics simulations offers cutting edge tools to understand the molecular structure and conformation ensemble of bio-molecules. Of particular interest are nucleic acids binding proteins that has specific recognition toward nucleic acid structures/sequences. And also on investigating the folding funnel, protein-protein and nucleic acids-ligand interactions.
