Some protein can exist in different states (Complexed to other proteins, (partially) unfolded,...) NMR experiments, like HSQC
allow us to detect which residues of the protein is involved the biological process. Nevertheless, interpretation of data can be
subjective and misinterpretation can lead to fatal errors.
SAMPLEX (Smoothed Automatic Mapping of Protein from Listed Extremes) is a program that will find from NMR data and without any
subjectivity which part of a protein, which exists in two different states, is perturbed.
The algorithm makes use of NMR data and the structure of the protein in the ground state (Unbound and folded). After estimating
the probability of each residue to be in a perturbed environment, it will use a topological approach to detect which regions
(blocks) of te protein might be involved.

MINOES (MINnimal Optimal Ensemble Selection) aims at selecting a subensemble, which will best fit experimental data, among an
ensemble of generated structures.
