Membrane protein mechanotransduction: computational studies and analytics development
- Abstract:
-
Membrane protein mechanotransduction is the altered function of an integral membrane protein in response to mechanical force. Such mechanosensors are found in all kingdoms of life, and increasing numbers of membrane proteins have been found to exhibit mechanosensitivity. How they mechanotransduce is an active research area and the topic of this thesis.
The methodology employed is classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. MD systems are complex, and two programs were developed t...
