The Macromodel software package was first been described in the scientific literature in 1990,[2] and has been subsequently acquired by Schrödinger, Inc. in 2000.[3]
Key features
Implicit solvation (continuum solvation) model, Generalized Born model augmented with the hydrophobic solvent accessible surface area (SA) term (GBSA)[4][5]
