Synergistic Applications of MD and NMR for the Study of Biological Systems

Abstract EN

Modern biological sciences are becoming more and more multidisciplinary.

At the same time, theoretical and computational approaches gain in reliability and their field of application widens.

In this short paper, we discuss recent advances in the areas of solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations that were made possible by the combination of both methods, that is, through their synergistic use.

We present the main NMR observables and parameters that can be computed from simulations, and how they are used in a variety of complementary applications, including dynamics studies, model-free analysis, force field validation, and structural studies.
