Introduction

NAnoscale Molecular Dynamics (NAMD) is a parallel molecular dynamics application that has been used to make breakthroughs in understanding the structure and dynamics of large biomolecular complexes NAMD uses empirical force fields, such as Amber, CHARMM, and Dreiding, to calculate atomic trajectories by numerically solving motion equations. NAMD is used to predict the dynamic behavior and important properties of biomolecules, such as dispersive factor and cohesive energy.
