Molecular Dynamics-based simulations have been employed to study the protein folding process, in which a protein acquires its functional three-dimensional structure. This has resulted in a large number of protein folding trajectories. As a result, it becomes increasingly important to analyze such data to facilitate a deeper understanding of the protein folding mechanism. In this paper, we focus...

Single-molecule force spectroscopy provides access to the mechanics of biomolecules. Recently, magnetic and laser optical tweezers were applied in studies chaperones their interaction with protein clients. Various aspects chaperone–client interactions can be revealed based on mechanical probing strategies. First, when a chaperone is probed under load, one examine inner workings while it interac...
