Structural dynamics of the T cell receptor

The T cell receptor is an intriguing part of the immune system. Although a vital part in the detection of pathogens, its functioning is not fully understood. I am trying to undestand its mechanism a bit better, by deploying large scale simulations.

During my PhD I applied large scale simulations to study another complex protein, Photosystem II. A small movie of my research can be seen below.

Excerpt from a half mili second simulation in which plastoquinone is seen entering Photosystem II, one of the major findings from my PhD.
