PCA indicated that the basins of attraction split forming an hierarchical tree. A table of contacts, in particular water-mediated contacts and salt-bridges present in various sub-basins reveals the role of these contacts in sculpting eglin c's energy landscape.

Free energy surfaces for src SH3 domain and protein G were constructed using principal components based on a contact map and a coarse-grained implicit solvent force field. The funnel shape of the folding landscapes was confirmed. In addition, conformations sampled in the simulation were structured into a network. Grouping of the conformations into nodes and assigning rates to edges was based on the contact map. Hierarchical nature of the network was discussed.

Brownian dynamics was run on the resulting FES and borderline behavior between diffusive and activated protein dynamics was found. Role of solvent in smoothing the energy landscape and preventing partial unfolding was shown.

Multiscale simulations, namely all-atom → coarse-grained → Brownian dynamics on a 2D free energy surface with a chemical and conformational coordinates were used to investigate the connection between conformational and catalytic step in adenylate kinase enzymatic activity. The authors found no significant coupling between the chemical and conformational coordinates.

From coarse-grained simulations, a potential of mean field for the tethered head of kinesin motor on a microtubule was calculated, helping to identify the preferential place on the microtubule for the next binding of the head and showing that the motor stays on the same protofilament. Partial unfolding of the binding motif in the head was noted and discussed.

Alanine mutation scanning study of the residues forming hydrogen bond networks in caspase-1 was carried out. The two H-bond networks interconvert upon ligand binding and conformational change, which shows their importance for allosteric switching. Four important residues were identified. Mutations of either of two residues in this set change the enzymatic rate by a factor of 4-7, while mutations of either of the other two that form salt bridge decrease the rate 100-200-fold.
