the protein. Obviously, if it could do this it would take a much longer
time than just simulating a complex, but if given enough time, could it
complex?
Yes, there are some examples. A paper was published by Shaw and 
co-worker in J. Amer. Chem. Soc. a year or two ago.


I have no formal experience with simulations and currently have no one
around me with enough knowledge on these topic to mentor me, so any help is
very much appreciated!

Thank you! :)

For the rest of us mere mortals who don't have access to specialized hardware 
that allows for 10- or 20-microsecond simulations, the brute force approach is 
rather futile.  Techniques like steered MD and Hamiltonian replica exchange MD 
are probably more feasible.  Unbiased simulations of sufficient length, using 
standard supercomputing hardware, would probably take years.

Do you think implicit water with 10-20 ligands would be able to do it?
I see that the gpu accelerated implicit gets about 100-150 ns/day so a
10-20 day simulation would yield that time frame, no?

Thanks :)



In an implicit, non-periodic system, it is more likely that the ligand will 
float away from the protein.  I've tried it and that's all that ever happens. 
Moreover, the current Gromacs version does not support implicit solvent on GPU 
and the previous version that did had very limited functionality.
