Molecular Dynamics simulation
A Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation is very computational intense: 30 steps
for a molecule like the currently loaded take around 20 seconds,
depending on the computational power.
When the simulation is over we will leave the field of molecular mechanics
and come to an other field:
To understand a protein's function, it is often also necessary to study
its electrostatic field. This can be easily done using BALLView, where
you can compute the electrostatic potentials in space in an FDPB
setting with just a few mouse clicks.
When you press Next, such an FDPB electrostatic computation will
be performed. Depending on the performance of your machine
this might take a moment.
