Two milliseconds of molecular dynamics simulations of a major drug-target G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) has been carried out using Google's Exacycle cloud computing platform. Markov state models were used to aggregate independent simulations into a statistical model that provides an atomistic description of GPCR ligand-modulated activation pathways.
