What is VMD?
VMD is a molecular visualization program for displaying, animating, and analyzing large biomolecular systems
using 3-D graphics and built-in scripting. VMD supports computers running MacOS-X, Unix, or Windows, is distributed
free of charge, and includes source code. VMD can apply 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D textures onto molecular and volumetric geometry.
These textures can be used to convey various types of information including surface contours, volumetric data, function values,
and other molecular and atomic properties not represented geometrically. Upcoming versions of VMD will utilize textures for
representation of many new types of information.
FAQs about VMD:
- To RUN VMD simply type in vmd at the unix prompt. An online help guide is available at
