DNA model on Abalone
Abalone is a general purpose molecular dynamics and molecular graphics program for simulations of bio-molecules in a periodic boundary conditions in explicit (flexible SPC water model[1]) or in implicit water models.[2] Mainly designed to simulate the protein folding and DNA-ligand complexes in AMBER force field.
