Overview of Steered Molecular Dynamics
Steered Molecular Dynamics is a powerful computational technique that allows researchers to study the response of biomolecular systems to external forces. By applying controlled pulling forces to specific atoms or groups within a molecular system, SMD simulations can elucidate key mechanical properties, such as binding affinities, mechanical stability, and unfolding pathways.
