Abstract: A system and method for testing of active molecules using simulation of skin membrane have been provided. The present disclosure provides a molecular level model of the skins upper protective layer Stratum-Corneum. The systems consist of a molecular model of the skin"s upper layer stratum corneum and permeate molecules. A protocol have been developed to perform molecular dynamics simulations which can be automated. The system predicts the permeability, partition coefficient and diffusivity of different active molecules like drugs and cosmetics through mentioned skin model using multiple molecule in single window constrained molecular dynamics simulations. * To be published with Fig. 2
