title: [Brownian dynamics simulations of protein-protein interactions in photosynthetic electron transport chain].
abstract: The application of Brownian dynamics for simulation of transient protein-protein interactions is reviewed. The review focuses on theoretical basics of Brownian dynamics method, its particular implementations, advantages and drawbacks of the method. The outlook for future development of Brownian dynamics-based simulation techniques is discussed. Special attention is given to analysis of Brownian dynamics trajectories. The second part of the review is dedicated to the role of Brownian dynamics simulations in studying photosynthetic electron transport. Interactions of mobile electron carriers (plastocyanin, cytochrome c6, and ferredoxin) with their reaction partners (cytochrome b6f complex, photosystem I, ferredoxin:NADP-reductase, and hydrogenase) are considered.
