How To Install libsimtkmolmodel-plugins on Debian 12
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libsimtkmolmodel-plugins on Debian 12.
What is libsimtkmolmodel-plugins
libsimtkmolmodel-plugins is:
Provides C++ API for creating molecular models whose dynamics can be simulated using the SimTK Simbody library. Molmodel is a programmer’s toolkit for building reduced-coordinate, yet still all-atom, models of large biopolymers such as proteins, RNA, and DNA. One can control the allowed mobility. By default, Molmodel builds torsion-coordinate models in which bond stretch and bend angles are rigid while bond torsion angles are mobile. But one is able to rigidify or free any subsets of the atoms, such as the rigid benzene ring.
Molmodel is a C++ API for biochemist-friendly molecular modeling that extends the Simbody API to simplify construction of high-performance articulated models of molecules.
This package provides Molmodel plugins.
