Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic mutations can have a large impact on the conformational ensemble of intrinsically disordered proteins, but revealing those effects and their physiological relevance can be challenging. We used large-scale all-atom explicit-solvent molecular dynamics simulations and single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) experiments to investigate the conformational dynamics of the chaperone protein...
