摘要

HTMD is a programmable scientific platform intended to facilitate simulation-based research in molecular systems. This paper presents the functionalities of HTMD for the preparation of a molecular dynamics simulation starting from PDB structures, building the system using well-known force fields, and applying standardized protocols for running the simulations. We demonstrate the framework's flexibility for high-throughput molecular simulations by applying a preparation, building, and simulation protocol with multiple force-fields on all of the seven hundred eukaryotic membrane proteins resolved to-date from the orientation of proteins in membranes (OPM) database. All of the systems are available on www.playmolecule.org.
