In the recent years, the improvement of software and hardware performance has made biomolecular simulations a mature tool for the study of biological processes. Simulation length and the size and complexity of the analyzed systems make simulations both complementary and compatible with other bioinformatics disciplines. However, the characteristics of the software packages used for simulation have prevented the adoption of the technologies accepted in other bioinformatics fields ...

This tutorial aims to illustrate the process of setting up a simulation system to run constant pH Molecular Dynamics simulations with AMBER, step by step, using the BioExcel Building Blocks library (biobb) wrapping the AmberTools utility from the AMBER package. The particular example used is the Bovine Pancreatic Trypsin Inhibitor (BPTI) protein (PDB code 6PTI).

Workflow engine is a jupyter notebook. It can be run in binder, following the link given, or locally. Auxiliar libraries used are: ...
