Mac OS X is the Computer Operating System that develop in Apple Inc. Mac OS X is the successor to Mac OS 9 Version which had been Apple's primary operating system since 1984. If you are not familiar with Virtual Machines, I suggest downloading Parallels Desktop. It is a fantastic and easy to use virtual machine system that already has mac and windows environments. If you are familiar with them, VirtualBox from Oracle will do as well. Trusted Mac download VMD 1.9.4. Virus-free and 100% clean download. Get VMD alternative downloads.
A powerful and reliable molecular visualization program for displaying, animating and analyzing large biomolecular systems using 3-D graphics
What's new in VMD 1.9.3:
- Major features included in VMD 1.9.3:
- Connecting the user-friendly molecular graphics program VMD to the widely adopted MD program NAMD, the new QwikMD plugin guides users to prepare common molecular simulations in just a few minutes, allowing for quickly study of point mutations, partial deletions or even steering experiments. While making it easy for a new user to perform simulations, QwikMD also works as a learning tool with 'info buttons' that guide the user and provide the theoretical background underlying the procedures that are followed. Each 'info button' generates a window where the user can find fundamental information related to Molecular Dynamics simulations, such as the description of solvent models and protein structure, as well as short explanations of the options available in QwikMD graphical interface and the actions triggered by the buttons. For more information, the user is redirected to web-pages through links present in the bottom of the information window. QwikMD incorporates logging of procedures for reproducibility, and to enable simulation workflows and protocols to be shared among users.
- The Force Field Toolkit (ffTK) plugin provides a comprehensive toolset for the development of CHARMM-compatible (e.g., CGenFF) force field parameters, including charges, bonds, angles, and dihedrals. Two new major features have been added to the Force Field Toolkit for the VMD 1.9.3 release.
Read the full changelog
VMD is the tool you need to use when you have to analyze proteins, lipid bilayer assemblies and nucleic acids.
The application allows you to view general molecules, and it even comes with complete support for the Protein Data Bank. It requires you to enter the ID or download the molecule, then it displays the protein structure in a snap.
VMD comes with multiple methods of coloring and rendering a molecule, by using CPK spheres, cartoon drawing, licorice bonds or cylinders.
The tool makes it easier to analyze and animate the trajectory of molecular dynamics. Furthermore, VMD acts as a GUI for an external MD program by animating a molecule simulation.
VMD comes with complete support for GPU accelerated computation and multicore processors. It doesn't have a limit for the number of atoms, residues, molecules and trajectory frames it can use, since these are limited only by the amount of memory you have installed on your Mac.
In addition, VMD provides the ability to export graphics to a file which can easily be processed by a large number of ray tracing applications.
VMD includes stereo display capability and provides support for more than 60 different molecular formats.
VMD provides a multiple sequence alignment plugin but it also includes a bioinformatics environment created to organize structure data for nucleic acids and proteins.
