Molecular dynamics simulation has been extensively applied to analyses of structure, dynamics, and the function of biological molecules. In this review, the practical procedures of molecular dynamics simulations of a protein and DNA by using the software PEACH (Program for Energetic Analysis of bioCHemical molecules) are described.
