Markov State Modeling
Computational MethodMarkov State Modeling (MSM) is a computational method applied with molecular dynamics simulations to resolve conformational dynamics in the AsLOV2 photosensory domain. In the cited 2023 study, MSM was used to explain blue-light-induced stepwise unfolding of the C-terminal Jα-helix and to identify seven structurally distinguishable unfolding states spanning initiation and post-initiation phases.
