Folding Transition States in Proteins
In collaboration with the group of Chris Dobson in Cambridge we have looked at transition states in the folding of SH3 domains.
Objective: To evaluate the folding propensity of proposed transition states (TS) of the a-spectrin
SH3 domain using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with an explicit representation of the solvent.
Some of the proposed transition states fold other do not.

Status of our contribution:
1. Trajectories of the simulations mentioned above can be made available on request2. While we have not appointed anyone specifically on the project we are in the
process of advertising.3. Our aim is to specifically appoint a person focusing on code development who could interact with those groups involved in methods development and exploit
our preexisting simulations..
