Introduction of Center of Mass Distance Analysis
Center of Mass Distance Analysis is a computational approach used to monitor the relative positions of the center of mass of ligands and proteins during molecular dynamics simulations. By tracking the distances between these key molecular entities over time, researchers can gain critical insights into the structural changes, binding modes, and stability of ligand-protein complexes. This analysis technique serves as a valuable tool for understanding the dynamic interplay between drugs and their molecular targets, paving the way for rational drug design and optimization.
