A NAMD topology/coordinate system preparation tool

Project description

Pestifer

NAMD System Preparation Tool

PyPI PyPI Downloads Docs DOI

Pestifer is a fully automated simulation-ready MD system preparation tool, requiring as inputs only biomolecular structures (e.g., PDB IDs, PDB files, mmCIF files, alphafold IDs) and a handful of customization parameters, to generate NAMD-compatible input files (PSF, PDB, and xsc). It is basically a highly functionalized front end for VMD's psfgen utility. It also has a few handy subcommands for working with NAMD output.

Installation

pip install pestifer

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

Pestifer also requires access to the following executables:

  1. namd3 and charmrun
  2. vmd and catdcd
  3. packmol

Pestifer includes a copy of the Feb 2026 Charmm36 force field.
