Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a computational tool that can provide insight into the function of biological systems, potentially contributing to the design of new drugs. We use a specialized supercomputer to simulate on timescales at which functionally relevant states are revealed. I will discuss our use of MD simulations to explore a membrane-bound ion channel as a potential drug target.
