Which one is the best and most user friendly tool for Molecular dynamics?
Hi Nitesh Singh,
Regarding software for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, "best" is highly subjective and depends on your criteria. Likewise, "user friendly" depends on your background and experience.
MD programs that are free and widely used include Gromacs and NAMD. Many people favor NAMD because it is available as pre-compiled binary executable files for Linux, Mac, and Windows.
You can also do MD simulations with CHARMM and AMBER, but the full versions of these packages require paid licenses.
Others to consider include ACEMD, which has paid and free versions, Desmond, which has a free version, and YASARA, which requires a paid license but the price is quite reasonable. YASARA is the most user-friendly software for MD and other molecular modeling tasks that I have tried.
Best wishes for your research efforts!

I think its depend upon the structure of molecule, and your background experience in these programs, so you can use (MM2 or MMFF94 ) to do (MD) simulations.
