pestifer 1.3.1

A NAMD topology/coordinate input builder

Pestifer

Automatic NAMD System Input Builder

Pestifer is a Python utility for generating atomistic inputs with appropriate topology and parameter files required for molecular dynamics simulations using NAMD. It is intended as a fully automated system builder requiring as inputs only the PDB codes of biomolecular structures and a handful of customization parameters. Pestifer primarily works as a front end for VMD's psfgen utility.

Installation

pip install pestifer

Once installed, the user has access to the main pestifer command.
