Abstract excerpt
We conducted molecular dynamics simulations combined with distance-based umbrella sampling and forward flux sampling to investigate the early stages of protein crystallization. Formation of contacts with long-range interactions and/or an exposed position on the protein surface was kinetically preferred over more stable hydrophobic contacts with a shorter attractive range, while the thermodynamic stability of the...
