A Balanced Approach to Designing Force Fields

ForceBalance makes it easier to efficiently develop and optimize force fields

When simulating the movements of large molecules on a computer, researchers typically rely on an approximation of the force fields at play. That’s because a truly correct simulation of those...

Putting Exacycles and Markov State Models to Work on GPCRs

The yield: an unprecedented and insightful millisecond simulation

Despite being well-studied, much remains unknown about the dynamics of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), molecules that are prominent drug targets. Recent work published in the journal Nature...

Enhanced Function Recognition in Protein Trajectories over Space and Time

Simulating molecular movement gives a more accurate view of binding sites.

If a picture’s worth a thousand words, then a motion picture, such as that provided by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, must contain a wealth of information.  It’s this potential...

OpenMM: Bringing GPU Acceleration Capabilities to Molecular Dynamics

OpenMM provides a common interface for doing MD simulations on GPUs

Over the last three years, the lab of Vijay Pande, PhD, at Stanford University has optimized their molecular dynamics (MD) algorithms to take advantage of the fast computing that’s possible...

Feedback for the Brain and Body: A New Freely Available Interface Between MATLAB and OpenSim
Even when we simply stand still on two feet, our brains communicate with our muscles—firing them appropriately to keep us upright against gravity. So when scientists simulate simple or complex...
