Description

Generating large amplitude conformational changes of complex biomolecules remains a challenge. This talk will review recent work on this problem, based on novel insights on loop closure techniques coupling kinematic models in dihedral angle spaces and MCMC sampling techniques of the Hit-and-Run type. Along the way, I will discuss connections with density of states calculations and thermodynamics.
