- 05:27Conclusion
The present protocol uses a biomolecular simulation package and describes the molecular dynamics (MD) approach for modeling the wild-type caspase and its mutant forms. The MD method allows for assessing the dynamic evolution of the caspase structure and the potential effect of mutations or post-translational modifications.
