PMFLib is a toolkit that implements several free energy calculations methods employing biased molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. While PMFLib provides its own molecular dynamics engine, PMFLib usage is rather oriented on coupling with other well-established and optimized molecular dynamics simulations programs. The reference MD code is sander from the AMBER package. The code is free-ware, and thus, its source code coupled with PMFLib is available for direct download. The compilation is simple and described in the [[Installation]] section.

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 detail in the Installation section.
