New #preprint about PENSA, our flexible #OpenSource software package for comprehensive and thorough investigation of biomolecular conformational ensembles:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.02714

In three real-world examples, we show how it can be used to understand an #enzyme mechanism, #DNA #forcefield parameters, and #signaling in an #opioid #receptor.
