Overview

Protein-ligand interaction prediction through molecular dynamics (MD) is a computational approach widely employed in elucidating the dynamic behavior of biomolecular complexes. Employing Newtonian mechanics, MD simulations facilitate the exploration of conformational changes and energetics over time. In recent research, advancements in this field have been marked by the integration of sophisticated force fields, enhanced sampling techniques, and the utilization of high-performance computing resources. Notably, researchers have made substantial progress in refining accuracy and efficiency, enabling the prediction of binding affinities and the identification of key residues involved in molecular recognition. Additionally, the incorporation of machine learning algorithms to analyze MD-generated data has further augmented predictive capabilities, opening avenues for more comprehensive studies on diverse protein-ligand systems. This amalgamation of MD simulations and computational tools continues to contribute significantly to drug discovery and the understanding of biological processes at the molecular level.
