| Abstrakt: | In the current drug development process, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have proven to be very useful. This chapter provides an overview of the current applications of MD simulations in drug discovery, from detecting protein druggable sites and validating drug docking outcomes to exploring protein conformations and investigating the influence of mutations on its structure and functions. In addition, this chapter emphasizes various strategies to improve the conformational sampling efficiency in molecular dynamics simulations. With a growing computer power and developments in the production of force fields and MD techniques, the importance of MD simulations in helping the drug development process is projected to rise significantly in the future.
