Biomolecular simulation has come of age over the past 30 years, and been used to solve many outstanding problems from the question of protein mechanism to viral capsid self-assembly. Here, I will give an overview of modeling techniques, and discuss the problems that they can (and can't) solve. Special emphasis will be placed on our group's research on adaptive partitioning quantummechanical/molecular-mechanical (AP QM/MM) methodology intothe broader context of these modeling strategies. I will conclude with our plans to use deep neural networks to accelerate computationally intensive calculations within AP QM/MM simulations.
