I've installed VMD on Athena for Linux and Sun. VMD is an application
designed for the visualization and analysis of biological systems such
as proteins, nucleic acids, lipid bilayer assemblies etc. It can also
view more general molecules in standard representations (such as pdb
and other standard molecular description files). It provides a wide
variety of methods for visualizing and rendering molecules, and can
also be used to animate and analyze the trajectory of molecular
dynamics simulations. To run it:
add vmd
vmd
There are sample data files in the /mit/vmd_v1.8/distrib/vmd/proteins
directory, and there is summary documentation at
http://web.mit.edu/vmd_v1.8/distrib/vmd/doc/vmd_help.html, as well as
a user's guide and brief tutorial at
http://web.mit.edu/vmd_v1.8/distrib/vmd/doc/ug.pdf. See also file
/mit/vmd_v1.8/README.athena for additional information.
