Abstract excerpt
Molecular dynamics--the science of simulating the motions of a system of particles--applied to biological macromolecules gives the fluctuations in the relative positions of the atoms in a protein or in DNA as a function of time. Knowledge of these motions provides insights into biological phenome...
