Resumen de Advanced inspection techniques for molecular simulations

Pedro Hermosilla Casajús

• Molecular dynamics simulations are computer simulations of the physical movements of atoms and molecules, and the interactions between them. In the particular cases we focus on (pharmaceutical drug design and enzymatic catalysis), molecular dynamics simulations predict the binding mode and binding affinity of a small molecule (the drug) with a biomolecule. Providing new tools and techniques to visualize and to interact with these simulations is crucial in understanding them. Throughout the development of this thesis, we have proposed new techniques to improve both the rendering quality and speed of different molecular representation models. Moreover, we developed a novel system to analyze docking simulations and the underlying interactions between the atom groups.
