    Abstract

    Recent advances in computer hardware and software have led to the development of increasingly successful molecular simulations of protein structural dynamics that are intrinsic to biological processes. These simulations have resulted in models that increasingly agree with experimental observations, suggest new experiments and provide insights into biological mechanisms. Used in combination with data obtained with sophisticated experimental techniques, simulations are helping us to understand biological complexity at the atomic and molecular levels and are giving promising insights into the genetic, thermodynamic and functional/mechanistic behaviour of biological processes. Here, we highlight some examples of such approaches that illustrate the current state and potential of the field of molecular simulation.
