NAMD datasets

NAMD molecular dynamics simulation datasets.

The alchemlyb.namd module features datasets generated using the NAMD molecular dynamics engine. They can be accessed using the following accessor functions:

load_tyr2ala()

Load the NAMD tyrosine to alanine mutation dataset.

NAMD: free energy of tyrosine to alanine mutation in aqueous solution

Free energy change from mutating a tyrosine (Y) residue into alanine (A) in the Ala-Tyr-Ala tripeptide in aqueous environment.
