TY - T1 - Functional Sampling Tool: A Novel Method to Enhance Sampling in Molecular Dynamics Simulations : with applications to NMDAR dynamics SN - / UR - URN:NBN:fi:hulib-202206282961; http://hdl.handle.net/10138/345537 T3 - A1 - Paajanen, Santeri A2 - PB - Helsingin yliopisto Y1 - 2022 LA - eng AB - NMDA receptors are ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs), tetrameric proteins, mediating synaptic transmission in the brain and the whole nervous system. Together with another type of iGluRs, AMPA receptors, they are considered essential for neuronal plasticity and memory. Understanding their dynamics and different kinetics is vital for studying various neurological diseases. The relatively slow dynamics, where the time scales of related processes range up to hundreds of milliseconds, make stu...
