Peptides or proteins containing small biomolecular aggregates, such as micelles, bicelles, droplets and nanodiscs, are pivotal in many fields ranging from structural biology to pharmaceutics. Monitoring dynamics of such systems has been limited by the lack of experimental methods that could directly detect their fast (picosecond to nanosecond) timescale dynamics. Spin relaxation times from NMR experiments are sensitive to such motions, but their interpretation for biomolecular aggregates is not...
[NMR paper] Probing Methyl Group Dynamics in Proteins by NMR Cross-Correlated Dipolar Relaxation and Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Probing Methyl Group Dynamics in Proteins by NMR Cross-Correlated Dipolar Relaxation and Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin relaxation is the most informative approach to experimentally probe the internal dynamics of proteins on the picosecond to nanosecond time scale. At the same time, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of biological macromolecules are steadily improving through better physical models, enhanced sampling methods, and increased computational power, and they provide exquisite information about flexibility and its role in protein stability...

[NMR paper] Informing NMR experiments with molecular dynamics simulations to characterize the dominant activated state of the KcsA ion channel
Informing NMR experiments with molecular dynamics simulations to characterize the dominant activated state of the KcsA ion channel
As the first potassium channel with an x-ray structure determined, and given its homology to eukaryotic channels, the pH-gated prokaryotic channel KcsA has been extensively studied. Nevertheless, questions related, in particular, to the allosteric coupling between its gates remain open. The many currently available x-ray crystallography structures appear to correspond to various stages of activation and inactivation, offering insights into the molecular basis...
