Solvents to fragments to drugs: MD applications in drug design
Simulations of molecular dynamics (MD) are playing an increasingly important role in structure-based drug discovery (SBDD). Here we review the use of MD for proteins in aqueous solvation, organic/aqueous mixed solvents (MDmix) and with small ligands, to the classic SBDD problems: Binding mode and bi...

Simulations of molecular dynamics (MD) are playing an increasingly important role in structure-based drug discovery (SBDD).
