“…Hence, the first step is the identification of key water molecules and their contribution (Kumar & Zhang, 2013). Methods that have advanced the correct representation of water molecules in proteins include: free energy perturbation methods (Jorgensen & Thomas, 2008), Monte Carlo probability (Parikh & Kellogg, 2014), molecular dynamics of water on the binding site (as implemented by Schrödinger (Kumar & Zhang, 2013;Waszkowycz, Clark & Gancia, 2011)), water displacement as implemented by PLANTS (Korb, Stützle & Exner, 2009), "Attachment" of water molecules to ligands as additional torsions (Lie, Thomsen, Pedersen, Schiøtt & Christensen, 2011), QM/ MM hybrid methods (Xu & Lill, 2013), COSMO solvation, and semi-empirical charges for ligands (Oferkin et al, 2015). Additional methods are "hydrated docking" scripts for Autodock (Forli et al, 2016), protein-centric and ligand centric hydration as implemented by Rossetta (Lemmon & Meiler, 2013), Water docking using Vina (Ross, Morris & Biggin, 2012;Sridhar et al, 2017), WScore (Murphy et al, 2016), and grid inhomogeneous solvation theory applied by Autodock (Uehara & Tanaka, 2016).…”
