• ProBiS H2O MD plugin for PyMOL: ProBiS_H2O_MD.py (download this file and install from local file in PyMOL's Plugin Manager)
• Whole package (see Manual Installation): probis-h2o-md-plugin.zip

Example Input Files

The below example molecular dynamics files (PDB and DCD) were generated using CHARMM biomolecular simulation program. A PDB file is needed to get topology and coordinates of a protein (note: we do not use PSF files) and the DCD file contains the trajectory of a protein in a water box.

• Topology file (PDB): step5_92.pdb
• Molecular dynamics trajectory (DCD): step5_93.dcd

System Requirements

The ProBiS H2O MD plugin has been developed for Linux, Windows and Mac (from version 1.0.1 on) with PyMOL version 2.0 or higher. The plugin depends on several python packages that need to be installed for the plugin to work. First of all, pip3 (package installer for python3) needs to be installed on the system. When pip3 is installed, the plugin will - on first startup - automatically install additional python packages (scikit-learn and MDAnalysis). If installation of these packages would fail for some reason, then please install them manually (see below).

Manual installation of pip3 (Ubuntu)

Manual installation of additional packages - use this if automatic installation fails (Ubuntu)
