Overview
Navigation: Documentation / Overview
PMFLib is a toolkit, which implements several methods for free energy calculations 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.
