Abstract

We present a user-friendly front-end for running molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using OpenMM toolkit on the Google Colab framework. Our goals are: 1) to highlight the usage of a cloud-computing scheme for educational purposes for a hands-on approach when learning MD simulations and 2) to exemplify how low-income research groups can perform MD simulations in the microsecond timescale. We hope this work facilitates teaching and learning of molecular simulation throughout the community.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
