PMFLib is a toolkit, which implements several methods for free energy calculations employing biased molecular dynamics simulations. While PMFLib provides its own molecular dynamics engine, its usage is rather oriented on coupling with other well-established and optimized molecular dynamics simulations programs.

Navigation: Documentation / Overview

PMFLib is a versatile toolkit for performing free energy calculations using various methods based on biased molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Although PMFLib includes its own MD engine, it is primarily designed to interface with well-established and optimized external MD software. The reference MD engine is sander from the AMBER package.

PMFLib is distributed as free software, and its source code—along with the integrated MD interface—is available for direct download. The compilation process is straightforward and is described in the Installation section.
