An object-oriented toolkit to analyze molecular dynamics trajectories generated by CHARMM, Gromacs, NAMD, LAMMPS, or Amber.
Project description
.. Summary for PyPI
.. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/MDAnalysis/
MDAnalysis_ is an object-oriented python toolkit to analyze molecular
dynamics trajectories generated by CHARMM_, Gromacs_, Amber_, NAMD_, or
LAMMPS_; it also reads other formats (e.g. PDB_ files and `XYZ format`_
trajectories; see the `Table of Supported Coordinate Formats`_ for details). It
can write most of these formats, too, together with atom selections for use in
Gromacs_, CHARMM_, VMD_ and PyMOL_ (see `Selection exporters`_).
It allows one to read molecular dynamics trajectories and access the
atomic coordinates through NumPy_ arrays. This provides a flexible and
relatively fast framework for complex analysis tasks. Fairly complete
`atom selection commands`_ are implemented. Trajectories can
also be manipulated (for instance, fit to a reference structure) and
written out in a range of formats.
Availability
============
**Source code** is available from http://www.mdanalysis.org under the
`GNU Public Licence, version 2`_, together with the `online
documentation`_. **Packages** can be downloaded from
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/MDAnalysis/
or installed/upgraded via PyPI (using either `easy_install`_ or `pip`_)::
easy_install -U MDAnalysis
pip install --upgrade MDAnalysis
Please report **bugs** or **enhancement requests** through the `Issue
Tracker`_. Questions can also be asked on the `mdnalysis-discussion mailing
list`_.
In order to run the `Unit Tests`_ it is also necessary to install a
separate package MDAnalysisTests_ containing the test and test
data. As it contains about 18 MB of molecular dynamics trajectories
and simulation system structures it is not included with the library
itself.
