The Molecular Modelling Toolkit (MMTK) is an open-source software package written in Python, which performs common tasks in molecular modelling.[1]

Template:Quotation

Template:As of, MMTK consists of about 18,000 lines of Python code, 12,000 lines of hand-written C code, and some machine-generated C code.

Features

  • construction of molecular systems, with special support for proteins and nucleic acids
  • infinite systems or periodic boundary conditions (orthorhombic elementary cells)
  • common geometrical operations on coordinates
  • rigid-body fits
  • visualization using external PDB and VRML viewers; animation of dynamics trajectories and normal modes
  • the AMBER 94 force field, with several options for handling electrostatic interactions
  • a deformation force field for fast normal mode calculations on proteins
  • energy minimization (steepest descent and conjugate gradient)
  • molecular dynamics (with optional thermostat, barostat, and distance constraints)
  • normal mode analysis
  • trajectory operations
  • point charge fits
  • molecular surface calculations
  • interfaces to other programs
