Hi, Your expectation from MD is too much than reality. Peptide design is an open problem. Lots of elegant protocols are available. However, to my understanding, the core problem is still about protein-peptide docking and scoring. MD simulation only helps on some special cases. It is impossible

Hi, Yes it is possible to screen peptides as ligand. But for these following information is needed 1. Binding site of peptide and ligand 2. Which residues in peptide are important for binding. After you simply do the mutation on the desired peptide.Performed the MD upto 50 ns Find the

thank you Justin for reply. I dont know about long range interactions. But as I freeze the group I think it will improve my computational speed. So is there any way to find out or decide which group should be freeze, and which group should affect my interaction most probably?? Should I do

Hi, as far as I know, freezing just set velocities to 0 so you gain nothing freezing atoms. By the way, have you tried docking? It takes into account multiple conformation and orientation of the peptide and, depending upon the implemented algorithm, also protein sidechain orientation. Francesco

I don't think AutoDock and Vina are suitable for peptide docking. I would first try the FlexPepDocking module of Rosetta which does ab initio folding of the peptide on the receptor, while moving the side-chains of the protein but leaves its backbone intact. Rosetta implements a knowledge-based
