INTRODUCTION

Recently in life science applications, static structure-based approaches, such as docking and virtual screening, have made important strides in advancing drug discovery. MD, especially when coupled with these other computational tools, will open the door to addressing the many drug discovery problems for which the dynamic nature of proteins cannot be ignored. In drug designing pipeline protein-ligand simulation plays a crucial role in understanding the stability of the system. Another crucial area that can benefit from MD simulation is in the analysis of existing systems, and the development of new materials for a wide variety of applications. GROMACS is free, open-source software, and has consistently been one of the fastest molecular dynamics codes available. It is mainly used to simulate proteins and protein-ligand complexes. Many research groups use it to study molecular dynamics with in-depth analysis. Based on algorithm optimization GROMACS is very efficient.
