DebiChem Molecular Mechanics

This metapackage will install Molecular Mechanics which might be useful for chemists.

The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the DebiChem Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in DebiChem which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.

For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for DebiChem to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the DebiChem mailing list

O ghemical é um pacote de software para química computacional escrito em C++. Ele possui uma interface de usuário gráfica e suporta tanto modelos de mecânica quântica (semi-empírica) como modelos de mecânica molecular. Otimização geométrica, dinâmica molecular e um amplo conjunto de ferramentas de visualização usando OpenGL estão atualmente disponível.

Ghemical baseia-se em código externo para fornecer cálculos de mecânica quântica. Métodos semi-empíricos MNDO, MINDO/3, AM1 e PM3 vêm do pacote MOPAC7 (Domínio Público) e estão incluídos no pacote. O pacote MPQC é usado para fornecer métodos desde o princípio: os métodos baseados na teoria Hartree-Fock são atualmente suportados com base em conjuntos variando de STO-3G a 6-31G**.

GROMACS é um pacote versátil para realizar dinâmica molecular, i.e. simular equações Newtonianas de movimento para sistemas indo de centenas a milhões de partículas.

Ele é primariamente projetado para moléculas bioquímicas como proteínas e lipídios que têm várias interações de ligações químicas complicadas, mas como o GROMACS é extremamente rápido em calcular interações sem ligações químicas (que usualmente dominam as simulações) vários grupos também estão usando-o para pesquisa em sistemas não-biológicos, e.g. polímeros.

LAMMPS is a classical molecular dynamics code, and an acronym for Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator.

LAMMPS has potentials for soft materials (biomolecules, polymers) and solid-state materials (metals, semiconductors) and coarse-grained or mesoscopic systems. It can be used to model atoms or, more generically, as a parallel particle simulator at the atomic, meso, or continuum scale.

LAMMPS runs on single processors or in parallel using message-passing techniques and a spatial-decomposition of the simulation domain. The code is designed to be easy to modify or extend with new functionality.

VMD stands for Visual Molecular Dynamics. While text books and even structure databases because of technical problems only present static pictures of proteins or DNA, for the understanding of the properties of those molecules their vibration or their movement in general is important.

The movements itself are calculated by molecular dynamics programs, such as NAMD (by the same group), Rosetta, BALLView or GROMACS. The latter two are already in the distribution, we have package build instructions for Rosetta.

VMD has a series of nice features, from displaying through animation to analysing. It can be scripted, clustered, and runs on all common OS. Its license does not allow to redistribute a Debian package. But to share these build instructions for such a package is just fine.
