Running molecular dynamics simulations using NAMD

Abstract

In this tutorial we will perform a simulation with the popular NAMD molecular dynamics software. Please note NAMD tools are not currently available on a public Galaxy server due to licensing issues. If you are interested in following this tutorial, you will need to download the BRIDGE docker container and download NAMD yourself.
