Molecular Dynamics Simulations: Bring Biomolecular Structures Alive on a Computer
| Abstract |
|
|
The molecular dynamics (MD) simulations play a very important role in science today. They have been used successfully in binding
free-energy calculations and rational design of drugs and vaccines. MD simulations can help visualize and understand structures
and dynamics at an atomistic level when combined with molecular graphics programs. The molecular and atomistic properties
can be displayed on a computer in a time-dependent way, which opens a road toward a better understanding of the relationship
of structure, dynamics, and function. In this chapter, the basics of MD are explained, together with a step-by-step description
of setup and running an MD simulation.
