Which software is best for molecular dynamics?
These are 5 most commonly used softwares for MD calculations: GROMACS, CHARMM, AMBER, NAMD, and LAMMPS. All these software have some common features along with some unique capabilities. Some of them are open-source (e.g, GROMACS, and LAMMPS) and rest are either proprietary or commercial.
Which Linux is best for GROMACS?
Technically, GROMACS works best on any platform with an ANSI C compiler and supporting libraries, such as the GNU C library. We use Gromacs on Ubuntu and Gentoo and they run just fine on both of these distros…
Which GROMACS version is better?
We recommend gcc, because it is free, widely available and frequently provides the best performance. The xlc compiler is not supported and version 16.1 does not compile on POWER architectures for GROMACS-2020. We recommend to use the gcc compiler instead, as it is being extensively tested.
What can Gromacs do?
GROMACS is one of the most widely used open-source and free software codes in chemistry, used primarily for dynamical simulations of biomolecules. It provides a rich set of calculation types, preparation and analysis tools. Several advanced techniques for free-energy calculations are supported.
Is Desmond free?
Desmond is available without cost for non-commercial use by universities and other not-for-profit research institutions. To obtain the current version of Desmond for non-commercial use, you will need to register by filling out the form that appears below.
Which software is widely used for protein molecular mechanics calculations?
CHARMM is a macromolecular simulation software, which includes various computational tools, such as energy minimization, NMA, MD, REMD, and MC simulations. It is available for academic use for a small fee.

How install Gromacs Linux?
Quick and dirty installation
- Get the latest version of your C and C++ compilers.
- Check that you have CMake version 2.8.
- Get and unpack the latest version of the GROMACS tarball.
- Make a separate build directory and change to it.
- Run cmake with the path to the source as an argument.
- Run make, make check, and make install.
Who uses GROMACS?
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 …
