konformaatiopolkuja
Konformaatiopolkuja, known in English as conformational pathways, refers to the sequence of molecular shapes a molecule, particularly a protein or a flexible organic molecule, adopts as it transitions from one distinct conformation to another. This process is fundamental to understanding molecular dynamics and function.
In the context of proteins, konformaatiopolkuja describes the steps involved in protein folding, unfolding, or undergoing
For smaller organic molecules, konformaatiopolkuja describes the rotations around single bonds that lead from one rotamer
Computational methods, such as molecular dynamics simulations and advanced sampling techniques, are essential tools for exploring
