Design and application of implicit solvent models in biomolecular simulations

•Implicit solvent replaces explicit water by a potential of mean force.•Popular models are SASA, VOL and Generalized Born.•Implicit solvent is used in MD, protein modelling, folding, design, prediction and drug screening.•Large-scale simulations allow for parametrisation via force matching.•Applicat...
