Dear Alex

Thank you for the "shameless self promotion".  Have been looking for
some classic gromacs products lately. Have seen some interesting
methods in area of protein-ligand interactions. If you have some  new
and interesting gromacs papers related to Protein-ligand studies
please suggest it here.

Also came across this paper out of Stanford university. 400 micro sec
simulations. Just blown my mind.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-016-0015-8

Will really appreciate if you can suggest .

Appreciate you guys for all the help so far.

Best, Seke
