Molecular Dynamics Simulation Engines

Updated: Apr 7, 2020

AMBER, CHARMM, GROMACS, and OpenMM are different molecular dynamics engines. They all can perform molecular dynamics simulations. One researcher does not need to learn all of them for performing molecular dynamics simulations. Just chose one to start!


1. The AMBER software package

a. The main webpage: https://ambermd.org/

b. Get AmberTools, which is free: https://ambermd.org/AmberTools.php

d. AMBER tutorials: https://ambermd.org/tutorials/

f. Dr. Jason Swails's wiki: http://jswails.wikidot.com/


2. The CHARMM software package:
