Towards design of drugs and delivery systems with the Martini coarse-grained model.

ABSTRACT: Coarse-grained (CG) modelling with the Martini force field has come of age. By combining a variety of bead types and sizes with a new mapping approach, the newest version of the model is able to accurately simulate large biomolecular complexes at millisecond timescales. In this perspective, we discuss possible applications of the Martini 3 model in drug discovery and development pipelines and highlight areas for future development. Owing to its high simulation efficiency and extended chemical space, Martini 3 has great potential in the area of drug design and delivery. However, several aspects of the model should be improved before Martini 3 CG simulations can be routinely employed in academic and industrial settings. These include the development of automatic parameterisation protocols fo
