AMBER Protein MD Setup tutorials using BioExcel Building Blocks (biobb)

Based on the official GROMACS tutorial.

This tutorials aim to illustrate the process of setting up a simulation system containing a protein, step by step, using the BioExcel Building Blocks library (biobb) wrapping the Ambertools MD package.

Settings

Biobb modules used

• biobb_io: Tools to fetch biomolecular data from public databases.
• biobb_amber: Tools to setup and run Molecular Dynamics simulations using the Ambertools MD package.
• biobb_analysis: Tools to analyse Molecular Dynamics trajectories.
• biobb_structure_utils: Tools to modify or extract information from a PDB structure file.
• biobb_chemistry: Tools to to perform chemical conversions.

Auxiliary libraries used

• jupyter: Free software, open standards, and web services for interactive computing across all programming languages.
• plotly: Python interactive graphing library integrated in Jupyter notebooks.
• nglview: Jupyter/IPython widget to interactively view molecular structures and trajectories in notebooks.
• simpletraj: Lightweight coordinate-only trajectory reader based on code from GROMACS, MDAnalysis and VMD.
