Abstract

Molecular modeling studies on the inclusion complex formation ofcholesterol with β-cyclodextrin in monomer anddimer form were performed. Monte Carlo docking simulations, moleculardynamics, and non-equilibrium molecular dynamicssimulations were applied to assess the energeticdriving force for the formation of these inclusioncomplexes. Both Monte Carlo docking and moleculardynamics simulations supported the more favorableinclusion complex formation of β-cyclodextrindimer. Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulationsprovided a direct assessment of the binding force for theinclusion complexes, of which that of dimer form is much greater.
