NAMD System Preparation Tool
Pestifer is a fully automated simulation-ready MD system preparation tool, requiring as inputs only biomolecular structures (e.g., PDB IDs, PDB files, mmCIF files, alphafold IDs) and a handful of customization parameters, to generate NAMD-compatible input files (PSF, PDB, and xsc). It is basically a highly functionalized front end for VMD's psfgen utility. It also has a few handy subcommands for working with NAMD output.
pip install pestifer
Once installed, the user has access to the main pestifer command.
Pestifer also requires access to the following executables:
namd2 and charmrunvmd and catdcdpackmolBy default, pestifer looks for these commands in your path. Specific paths for these can be stipulated in the paths directive of your input file.
Pestifer includes the July 2024 Charmm36 force field.
