Abstract
It remains a major challenge in biophysics to understand the conformational dynamics of biomolecules. As powerful tools, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have become increasingly important in studying the full atomic details of conformational dynamics of biomolecules. In addition, many statistical models have been developed to give insight into the big datasets from MD simulations. In this work, I first describe three statistical models used to analyze MD simulation data: Lifson-Roig Helix-Coil theory, Bayesian inference models, and Markov state models. Then I present the applications of each model in analyzing MD simulations and revealing insight into the conformational dynamics of biomolecules. These statistical models allow us to bridge microscopic and macroscopic mechanisms of biological processes and connect simulations with experiments.
