SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Molecular dynamics simulations enable detailed exploration of the time evolution of molecular systems by solving Newton's equations of motion. This Skill provides a workflow and analysis toolkit using OpenMM and MDAnalysis to set up protein/small molecule systems, apply force fields, minimize energy, equilibrate, run production MD, and analyze trajectories (RMSD, RMSF, contacts, and free energy surfaces).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • System setup and force field preparation for proteins and ligands.
  • Energy minimization, NVT/NPT equilibration, and production MD to generate trajectories.
  • Trajectory analysis including RMSD, RMSF, residue-level analysis, and protein-ligand contacts.
  • Use Case: Explore protein stability, ligand binding, and conformational changes.

Quick Start

Install the required Python packages, prepare a system (protein or small molecule) with a PDB, and run a short OpenMM MD workflow to generate a trajectory.
