Abstract
Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) is a bacterial pathogen and a frequent cause of disease in humans. Developing vaccines against S. pneumoniae requires a deep understanding of the bacterial capsular polysaccharide, a sugar that surrounds the bacterium and is the target of antibacterial antibodies. Molecular dynamics simulations can provide far greater insight into the behaviour of capsular polysaccharides compared to traditional methods. Insight that is crucial for the development of more effective pneumococcal vaccines.
