Assuring accuracy and efficiency
In simulations of human activities such as running, hundreds of individual musculotendon models turn on and off to swing the arms and legs. Naturally, these simulations can only be as accurate and...

T-Rex in the Slow Lane
by Kristen Cobb
Tyrannosaurus rex is often pictured baring its teeth, crouching, and running swiftly after its prey, but these images are largely based on human fancy...

OpenMM provides a common interface for doing MD simulations on GPUs
Over the last three years, the lab of Vijay Pande, PhD, at Stanford University has optimized their molecular dynamics (MD) algorithms to take advantage of the fast computing that’s possible...

Simulating molecular movement gives a more accurate view of binding sites.
If a picture’s worth a thousand words, then a motion picture, such as that provided by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, must contain a wealth of information. It’s this potential...

Using molecular dynamics (MD) software, scientists can simulate molecular movement to study biological phenomena that currently cannot be observed experimentally.
But the value of MD...

OpenSim 2.0 promises greater opportunities for customization
With its initial release two years ago, OpenSim offered researchers a powerful open-source application for simulating movement. Simple enough to be used by high school students yet advanced enough to...
