All-Atom Molecular Simulations

In addition to the AlphaFold 3-predicted structures, this repository includes all-atom molecular simulations of the PROTAC ternary complex (PDB ID: 9B9W, AF3-predicted complex) using GROMACS with the Amber force field. 

Simulation Details  

  • Two independent 300 ns replicas (Rep1 and Rep2)  
  • Trajectory data saved at 5 ns intervals
