for protein-protein docking, the use of MD is at the moment very
limited.  it's sometimes used for initial conformational scanning, and
also for side chain optimization, but although it's giving good
results, in the latter case it's outperformed by monte carlo and
rotamer scanning.  the strength of MD will probably be in a
combination with ED/PCA, since at the moment none of the
protein-protein docking methods seem to be able to handle
conformational changes very well.
