Steered molecular dynamics: a tool to investigate molecular interactions
Steered molecular dynamics (SMD) induces unbinding of ligands and conformational changes in biomolecules on time scales accessible to molecular dynamics simulations. Time-dependent external forces are applied to a system, and the response of the system is analyzed. In this work, the application of …
