MolEnergy


Description

MolEnergy is a library of routines for efficiently computing molecular free energies. The primary components are:

  • Octree-based approximation algorithms for computing pairwise Lennard-Jones and Coulombic potentials, Born radii and generalized Born polarization energy,
  • Nonuniform fast Fourier transform approach (using NFFT) to computing generalized Born polarization energy, and
  • Kernel independent fast multipole-based boundary element solver for the Poisson-Boltmzann equation (using KIFMM3d and PETSc).
