leaving explicit water in MD simulations with GB or other continuum solvents
can be difficult. If the water is tightly bound to the solute, it may
not be a
problem. Surface waters might "exchange" with the bulk. Several groups
have worked on hybrid explicit/implicit water models, you should read the
literature on those to see the advantages and the challenges in using them.
we recently reviewed these in the ACS Annual Report in Comp Chem

Methods”/, Annual Reports in Computational Chemistry, 2:97-109 (2006).
