Molecular modeling without the pain - a Python library offering integrated simulation, visualization, analysis, and cloud computing.
The toolkit aims to lower the barriers between you and your science by integrating mature, open source simulation packages with a readable abstract API, Jupyter notebook visualization, and native cloud computing.
MDT requires Docker and Python 2.7. (Python 3.5+ is supported in the development version, and will be available in the stable 0.8 release.)
On the command line, run:
pip install moldesign
python -m moldesign introNote: depending on how python is installed on your system, some users may need to install the package as root: sudo pip install moldesign.
The best way to get started is to play with the examples that python -m moldesign intro will pull up. See the documentation for complete API docs, development instructions and other installation scenarios.
You'll almost always import the package and its units module:
import moldesign as mdt
from moldesign import units as uDownload a protein from the PDB and visualize it in 3D (in a notebook):
protease = mdt.from_pdb('3AID')
protease.draw()Create a small molecule and relax its geometry:
mol = mdt.from_name('bipyridine')
mol.set_energy_model(mdt.models.RHF(basis='STO-3G'))
min_trajectory = mol.minimize(nsteps=20)
min_trajectory.draw_orbitals()For in-depth examples, see the built-in example notebooks (run python -m moldesign intro to launch).
See CONTRIBUTING.md for details. Note that the Notebook Molecular Visualization library and PyCloudComputeCannon are also developed under this project's umbrella.
