GROMOS 11 version 1.5.0 (January 2021)

New functionalities:

  • Accelerated EDS [1].
  • Replica exchange EDS [2,3].
  • Improved dihedral-angle constraints [4].
  • Improved QM/MM options.
  • GPU acceleration [5] now embedded in main md++ package.
  • Simplified calculation of post-MD corrections for charge-changing free-energy calculations [6].

Along with this release a suite of advanced tutorials was published covering NMR order parameter restraining as well as binding free energy calculations involving a charged ligand [7].
