Molecular Biophysics Programs on OS X

Scientific Programs I have installed and used on OS X

Some Biophysics programs you can install and use on OS X listed by functional groupings:

These links are to instructions (if needed) on how to compile for OS X.

Electrostatics Calculations:

MEAD

APBS To install APBS you are requested by the author to register. To install it with fink, do this:

1. put maloc.info or maloc-mpi.info and apbs.info or apbs-mpi.info into /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo

2. For multi-processor machines, install Fink's lempi package (from the unstable branch of fink) first, and then install apbs-mpi

3. issue fink install apbs

or

fink install apbs-mpi

Ab initio Quantum Calculations:

GAMESS

Molecular Modeling Programs:

TINKER

NAMOT (easy to use gui-based nucleic acid modeling)

RNAmotif

NAB (nucleic acid builder) (use this fink installation script)

MMTK (molecular modeling took kit, python based)

Bio-informatics Programs

Here is a partial listing.
