Tutorials#

Step-by-step lessons that take you from zero to a working result. For working with the Molecule class itself (loading structures, atom selection, trajectories, visualization) see the moleculekit tutorials.

System building#

The headline capability. Each tutorial walks through building a real, simulation-ready system end-to-end - protein preparation, segmentation, ligand placement, membrane embedding, and parameter assignment under CHARMM / AMBER. The system-building overview lays out the full feature set, including non-canonical amino acids, stapled peptides, isopeptides, and disulfide handling.

Running MD simulations#

Drive a built system through equilibration and production with the ACEMD MD engine. The tutorial uses the canonical Trp-cage build as input, walks the setup_equilibration acemd setup_production acemd chain, and ends with the trajectory that downstream MSM analysis consumes.

MSM analysis#

Two end-to-end MSM analyses on real systems - benchmark trypsin/benzamidine and villin folding. Each tutorial walks the full simulation-list → projection → clustering → model → kinetics pipeline. The MSM workflow concept page sketches that pipeline before you start.

Adaptive sampling#

Multi-epoch campaigns whose next starting frames are picked from an on-the-fly MSM. The adaptive sampling concept page explains the rationale.
