"Molecular dynamics simulations of proteins and peptides: Problems, achievements, and perspectives" Paul Tavan, Heiko Carstens, and Gerald MathiasIn: Protein Folding Handbook. Part I. J. Buchner and T. Kiefhaber (Eds.), Wiley-VCH, Weinheim (2005), 1170-1195. Abstract: Starting with a sketch of the basic physics of protein structure and dynamics, Chapter 33 of the Handbook analyzes the state of the art concerning molcular dynamics (MD) simulations based on molecular mechanics (MM) force fields. Major issues are the problems posed by the long range of the electrostatic interactions and by the electronic polarizability commonly neglected in MM force fields.As an example results of MD simulations on light-switchable peptides are discussed.
