Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Watching proteins and ligands move—so binding hypotheses survive real motion.

Computation in service of human health

Static docking poses are a starting point, not the whole story. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations at BioRacc let us observe how protein–ligand complexes flex, breathe, and rearrange—revealing stability, escape routes, and interaction patterns that static models miss.

Approaches

Methods you will see in practice

  • Protein–ligand and protein–protein trajectory analysis
  • Stability assessment of docking poses under thermal motion
  • Mutation and resistance scenario exploration
  • Integration with docking and virtual screening pipelines
