An algorithm for implicit bond order and charge allocation for atomic coordinates?
I was wondering if there were any reliable algorithms out there that could allocate bond orders and formal charges of a given molecular structure if just the atomic coordinates (x,y,z) and atom type ...

Force field for charged peptide-ion system
I'm now currently simulating the system in which charged peptide (ARG, LYS, ASP, GLU) is solvated in electrolyte solution. MD simulation was performed based on the AMBER14ffSB force field, but in here ...

How can I use ss2 or FASTA files as inputs for protein-folding simulation using the MARTINI course-grained model?
I asked this at Biostars but the post seems to have been deleted there.
My professor told me to implement MARTINI ForceField-based coarse-grained model to simulate 2GB1A protein-folding using Python-3....

How to control the thickness of lipid bilayer with GROMACS
I was trying to perform lipid bilayer MD for my protein based on GROMACS's Membrane Protein Tutorial.
I can successfully orient the protein in the lipid (turquoise) as you can see in the image below:

Where to find DNA structural atomic coordinates?
I need a code/app/website that can receive a DNA sequence, for instance AATCT, and output a file with the atomic coordinates.
I used to do this on this website but the service is no longer working and ...

Simulating a circuit diagram for action potential [closed]
Cable theory is a good simulation for the resting potential. It imagines patches of cell membrane lipid bilayer as capacitors and transmembrane ion channels as resistors.
But it seems this model is ...

Why are condensed matter predictions considered on par with experiment, while structural biology modeling receives more skepticism?
I have two main modeling research lines: one related to structural biology (including rational drug design, de novo design, polymorphism, etc.) and the other one related to condensed matter (...
