Abstract
The Schrödinger software suite contains a broad array of computational chemistry and molecular modeling tools that can be used to study the interaction of peptides with proteins. These include molecular docking using Glide and Piper, relative binding free energy predictions with FEP+, conformational searches using MacroModel and Desmond, and structural refinement using Prime and PrimeX. In this review we provide a comprehensive overview of these tools and describe their potential application in the identification and optimization of peptide ligands for proteins.
