[Chimera-users] MD simulation

[Elaine Meng]

Dear Suda,
Sorry, Chimera does not do MD simulations currently -- instead its MD Movie tool can be used to view and analyze MD trajectories output from several other programs (Amber, Gromacs, etc.):

Examples of using MD Movie with already-calculated trajectories or ensembles are given in this tutorial:

> I am new to MD simulation, so please forgive me.. I am working on membrane proteins and would like to know if Chimera can be used to do MD simulation right from scratch. If yes, can you guide me on how to do it for a protein in (a) free state (i.,e., only with the protein of interest) and (b) protein docked with its ligand... please help me out..!!
