Thirty-five years of biomolecular simulation: development of methodology, force fields and software

Computer simulation of biomolecular systems has become a standard research instrument for the investigation of biomolecular processes at the atomic level of modelling and interpretation. A bird's eye view of the development of simulation methodology, of biomolecular interaction functions and simulation software is presented, together with the challenges in regard to these three aspects of biomolecular simulation.
