Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have recently gained increased attention for their potential in biotechnological applications. DESs are binary mixtures often consisting of a hydrogen bond acceptor and a hydrogen bond donor, which allows for tailoring their properties for particular applications. If produced from sustainable resources, they can provide a greener alternative to many traditional organic solvents for usage in various applications (e.g., as reaction environment, crystallization agent, or storage medium). To navigate this large design space, it is crucial to comprehend the behavior of biomolecules (e.g., enzymes, proteins, cofactors, and DNA) in DESs and the impact of their individual components. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations offer a powerful tool for understanding thermodynamic and transport processes at the atomic level and offer insights into their fundamental phenomena, which may not be accessible through experiments. While the experimental investigation of DESs for various biotechnological applications is well progressed, a thorough investigation of biomolecules in DESs via MD simulations has only gained popularity in recent years. Within this work, we aim to provide an overview of the current state of modeling biomolecules with MD simulations in DESs and discuss future directions with a focus for optimizing the molecular simulations and increasing our fundamental knowledge.
