I have a system with two proteins and a membrane as following
protein-1, protein-2, and membrane bilayer.
I would like to know whether the protein-2 binds first to protein-1 or the membrane to protein-1 using molecular dynamics simulation. Could some please suggest any way to find which one has preference to bind first? It would be great if someone can suggest a way to confirm that experimentally as well.
Can we confirm that with the binding affinity calculations?
