ERmod

  • Openness:3 ★★★
  • Document quality:2 ★★☆

ERmod is software for calculating the free energy in soft, molecular aggregate. This program rapidly and accurately calculates the free energy of binding of a molecule in the aggregate through combination of the molecular dynamics simulation and the energy-representation theory of solvation. The solubility of a molecule can be determined with ERmod in arbitrary solvent including supercritical fluid and ionic liquid. Assessment is also possible for the binding strength and site of a molecule in micelle, lipid membrane or protein.

The application’s greatest appeal

Software for calculating the free energy of molecular aggregate systems. Combines molecular dynamics and the theory of solutions in the energy representation method, enabling rapid, high-precision calculation of the free energy of substances binding to molecular aggregates. The software supports normal solutions, and it can also determine the solubility of a wide range of solvent species such as supercritical fluids and ionic fluids. Bonding strengths and sites for materials bonding to micelles, lipid membranes, and proteins can also be evaluated.
