I want to learn about how to carry out an MD simulation of asphaltene. I have no prior knowledge, where do I start ? or is there any tool or course I can start with? Also interested in building the molecular architecture etc.
GROMACS is a versatile package to perform molecular dynamics and It is primarily designed for biochemical molecules like proteins and lipids that have a lot of complicated bonded interactions, but since GROMACS is extremely fast at calculating the nonbonded interactions, many groups are also using it for research on non-biological systems.
(http://www.mdtutorials.com/gmx/) & (http://web.iitd.ac.in/~hkashyap/Extras/ASM2019-IITDelhi-Hemant-Kashyap-Handout-MD-Final.pdf).
It will take time to start with these things, it will be better if you seek help from some expert before starting MD.
Also a software tool for building initial structures for MD simulations is GaussView (www.gaussview.com) and VMD is designed for modeling, visualization, and analysis of systems (https://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/current/docs.html).
