Abstract
This review presents a brief overview of simulation approach to evaluate permeability of small molecules across thelipid membranes. We summarize technical developments to estimate the free energy barriers and diffusivities forsmall permeants to go across the membranes. Several simulation results are shown to demonstrate how these meth-ods work. Future direction in this field is also included.
