Molecular Dynamics Simulation

One approach in finding a fluorescent glucose sensor is a fluorescent dye linked to the glucose/galactose-binding protein (GBP). Conformational sampling of the GBP gives rise to various conformations, each of them affecting the dye via altered chemical environment. Excited states simulations could enable us to calculate fluorescence spectra, thus, evaluating different dyes linked to different positions within the protein.
