MDTools
The MDTools suite is a collection of programs, scripts, and utilities we provide for researchers to make various modeling and simulation tasks easier, and to provide basic code and utilities which can be built up into larger toolsets. Each tool, script, or library is listed below and has its own separate distribution, documentation, etc. The programs in this collection are provided for the benefit of the research community, but are not officially supported unless otherwise stated. Each program may have a software license and/or citation suggestions which should be listed on its web page.
Work on all projects is at least partially funded by the National Institutes of Health (grant number PHS 5 P41 RR05969).
Simulation Tools
- CatDCD - Concatenates DCD multiple trajectory files, can select subset of atoms, think of Unix "cat".
- Chemical2vmd - Lets VMD act as a helper application for chemical/x-vmd MIME type in web browsers
- Conect2psf - Converts PDB "CONECT" records into a "PSF" file for proper bond display in VMD
- FlipDCD/FixDCD - DCD trajectory file endianism and header conversion
- Ionize - Parallelized ion placement tool
- JMV: Java Molecular Viewer - JMV is a molecular viewer written in Java and Java3D. JMV is designed to be an easy-to-use platform neutral molecular visualization tool, which can be used standalone or integrated into other programs.
