The aim is to study the role of energy in economic growth in two Nordic countries, Denmark and Norway.

A computational method is described and tested for prediction of ligand-binding poses between the human farnesoid X receptor and a set of 36 potential agonists, provided by the D3R Grand Challenge 2016. Using tools such as Molecular Docking, Molecular Dynamics, Reconnaissance metadynamics and cluster analysis, the method is an attempt to predict the binding pose without being biased by experimenta
