Part of the book series: Topics in Molecular and Structural Biology ((TMSB))

Abstract

Three of the greatest challenges facing computational chemistry in the field of biomolecular modelling are: macromolecular solution structure determination from NMR experiments;1 the calculation of relative binding and solvation free energies;2–4 and the prediction of tertiary protein structure from amino acid sequences.5 Central to each of these research areas are two fundamental requirements for successful simulations: (1) an adequate description of the potential energy surface for the system of interest and (2) a means of sampling the conformational space accessible to the system to locate the relevant low-energy structures and/or to generate a statistical ensemble of populated states.
