Desmond 2023.2 – High-speed Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Desmond 2023.2

:: DESCRIPTION

Desmond is a software package developed at D. E. Shaw Research to perform high-speed molecular dynamics simulations of biological systems on conventional commodity clusters. The code uses novel parallel algorithms and numerical techniques to achieve high performance and accuracy on platforms containing a large number of processors, but may also be executed on a single computer.

AmberTools 20 – Molecular Dynamics Simulation

AmberTools 20

:: DESCRIPTION

AmberTools consists of several independently developed packages that work well by themselves, and with Amber (Assisted Model Building with Energy Refinement) itself. The suite can also be used to carry out complete (non-periodic) molecular dynamics simulations (using NAB), with generalized Born solvent models.

AmberTools consists of 7 main codes
NAB build molecules; run MD or distance geometry, using generalized Born, Poisson-Boltzmann or 3D-RISM implicit solvent models
antechamber Create force fields for general organic molecules
ptraj Analyze trajectories from Amber or CHARMM
tleap and xleap Basic preparation program for Amber simulations
sleap replaces and expands tleap
sqm semiempirical and DFTB quantum chemistry program
pbsa Performs numerical solutions to Poisson-Boltzmann models

GROMACS 2019.4 – Molecular Simulation

GROMACS 2019.4

:: DESCRIPTION

GROMACS is a versatile package to perform molecular dynamics, i.e. simulate the Newtonian equations of motion for systems with hundreds to millions of particles.It is primarily designed for biochemical molecules like proteins, lipids and nucleic acids that have a lot of complicated bonded interactions, but since GROMACS is extremely fast at calculating the nonbonded interactions (that usually dominate simulations) many groups are also using it for research on non-biological systems, e.g. polymers.

Surface Racer 5.0 – Calculation of Accessible and Molecular Surface Areas and Average Surface Curvature

Surface Racer 5.0

:: DESCRIPTION

Surface Racer calculates exact accessible surface area, molecular surface area and average curvature of molecular surface for macromolecules. The program also analyzes cavities in the protein interior inaccessible to solvent from outside. The output includes the surface parameters for each residue in addition to those for individual atoms.

Rasmol 2.7.5.2 – Molecular Graphics Visualisation

Rasmol 2.7.5.2

:: DESCRIPTION

RasMol is a molecular graphics program intended for the visualisation of proteins, nucleic acids and small molecules. The program is aimed at display, teaching and generation of publication quality images.

The program reads in molecular coordinate files and interactively displays the molecule on the screen in a variety of representations and colour schemes. Supported input file formats include Protein Data Bank (PDB), Tripos Associates’ Alchemy and Sybyl Mol2 formats, Molecular Design Limited’s (MDL) Mol file format, Minnesota Supercomputer Center’s (MSC) XYZ (XMol) format, CHARMm format, CIF format and mmCIF format files. It displays the molecule in various representations and allows one to rotate the molecule interactively.
