Abstract

Computational tools and techniques are now most popular and promising to progress the research at rapid rate. Molecular modelling studies contribute their maximum role in wide variety of disciplines especially in proteomics and drug discovery strategies. Molecular dynamics and molecular docking algorithms are now became an essential part in daily research activities of every laboratory throughout the world. These strategies are now well established and standardised to study any specific protein of interest and drug molecule. But still there exist considerable drawbacks in a special concern with membrane proteins as the presently available tools and methods cannot be applied directly to them. Modelling, dynamics and docking studies of membrane proteins need a special care and attention as several challenges are to be crossed with an intensive care to produce a reliable result. This chapter is aimed to discuss such challenges and solutions to handle membrane proteins.
