Tóm tắt

AbstractBackgroundACPYPE (or AnteChamber PYthon Parser interfacE) is a wrapper script around the ANTECHAMBER software that simplifies the generation of small molecule topologies and parameters for a variety of molecular dynamics programmes like GROMACS, CHARMM and CNS. It is written in the Python programming language and was developed as a tool for interfacing with other Python based applications such as the CCPN software suite (for NMR data analysis) and ARIA (for structure calculations from NMR data). ACPYPE is open source code, under GNU GPL v3, and is available as a stand-alone application athttp://www.ccpn.ac.uk/acpypeand as a web portal application athttp://webapps.ccpn.ac.uk/acpype.FindingsWe verified the topologies generated by ACPYPE in three ways: by comparing with default AMBER topologies for standard amino acids; by generating and verifying topologies for a large set of ligands from the PDB; and by recalculating the structures for 5 protein–ligand complexes from the PDB.ConclusionsACPYPE is a tool that simplifies the automatic generation of topology and parameters indifferent formatsfordifferentmolecular mechanics programmes, includingcalculation of partial charges, while beingobject orientedfor integration with other applications.
