To figure out how creatine sticks to its target in the body, scientists need to use super detailed computer simulations—regular docking tools just can’t get it right because they miss key details like how creatine interacts with a specific amino acid and a sodium ion.

Probing binding and occlusion of substrate in the human creatine transporter‐1 by computation and mutagenesis
Computational/Algorithm Study
2024 JanScientists used computer simulations that show how molecules move over time, not just static pictures, and found that creatine binds to the transporter in a way that only these dynamic simulations could reveal—docking programs alone missed this key detail.
