About

VIAMD is developed in the Department for Media and Information Technology (LIU, Norrköping). It allows a visual exploration of large-scale spatio-temporal molecular dynamics simulation data.

overview_2

After loading a trajectory, you can navigate through it using the animation window. Using the script editor and VIAMD language, one can derive a series of geometrical parameters for a molecule or an ensemble of molecules. This parameters can then be followed in the timeline and distribution window.

By using the filtering in the timeline, you can compare your distribution for the full trajectory and for the filtered part of your trajectory.

To illustrate the functionalities of VIAMD, this manual will used as examples three datasets: (A) a multiple PDB file of a poly-alanine chain; (B) A Gromacs trajectory of an aspirin molecule being pulled out of its specific binding to Phospholipase A2. The dynamic was performed from the crystal structure (1OXR) of the complex (C) a gromacs trajectory of luminescent probes in interaction with AB-amyloid. (More details in the dataset section)

A series of videos is available on youtube.
