Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD) is a

visualization

visualisation program to

visualize

visualise, model and

analyze biomolecular

analyse bio-molecular systems. Can generate PSF (Protein Structure File) files, perform live simulations

unsing

using NAMD and

modelize

modelling and

analize sistems

analyse systems through its plugins. Is also fully compatible with the most part of Molecular file formats (PDB, PSF, CHARM, AMBER...).

The GPU compatibility makes VMD able to manage large atom number

biomolecules

bio-molecules in various representations. 

How to launch VMD on a VNC Session


  1. Follow the instructions( https://confluence.csuc.cat/x/VIElAw ) to start a vnc session.
  2. Open a terminal at the VNC desktop and load the module
    1. module load vmd/1.9.4
  3. Type 'vglrun vmd' to start VMD using GPUs.
