The do_x3dna package has been developed to analyze the structural fluctuations of DNA or RNA during molecular dynamics simulations. It extends the capability of the 3DNA package to GROMACS MD trajectories and includes new methods to calculate the global-helical axis of DNA and bending fluctuations during simulations. The package also includes a Python module dnaMD to perform and visualize stati...

GridMAT-MD is a new program developed to aid in the analysis of lipid bilayers from molecular dynamics simulations. It reads a GROMACS coordinate file and generates two types of data: a two-dimensional contour plot depicting membrane thickness, and a polygon-based tessellation of the individual lipid headgroups. GridMAT-MD can also account for proteins or small molecules within the headgroups o...

One of application that needs high performance computing resources is molecular d ynamic. There is some software available that perform molecular dynamic, one of these is a well known GROMACS. Our previous experiment simulating molecular dynamics of Indonesian grown herbal compounds show sufficient speed up on 32 n odes Cluster computing environment. In order to obtain a reliable simulation, on...

In this data article we provide topologies and force field parameters files for molecular dynamics simulations of lipids in the OPLS-aa force field using the GROMACS package. This is the first systematic parameterization of lipid molecules in this force field. Topologies are provided for four phosphatidylcholines: saturated DPPC, mono-cis unsaturated POPC and DOPC, and mono-trans unsaturated PE...

The influence of water models SPC, SPC/E, TIP3P, and TIP4P on ligand binding affinity is examined by calculating the binding free energy ΔG(bind) of oseltamivir carboxylate (Tamiflu) to the wild type of glycoprotein neuraminidase from the pandemic A/H5N1 virus. ΔG(bind) is estimated by the Molecular Mechanic-Poisson Boltzmann Surface Area method and all-atom simulations with different combinati...

The fundamental problems in drug discovery are based on the process of molecular recognition by small molecules. The binding specificity of DNA-small molecule is identified mainly by studying the hydrogen bonding and polar interactions. Majority of the minor groove binders and their mechanism of action at the molecular level are not well studied. As these small molecules can act as effective th...

The approximative density-functional method DFTB3 has been implemented in the Gromacs package version 5, complementing the existing QM/MM interface. The tight integration within the program gives rise to favorable efficiency, and makes it possible to employ a full PME-based treatment of QM/MM electrostatic interaction. Therefore, unnecessary artifacts are avoided in simulations involving polar ...
