Preface<br />

Intended Audience<br />

This tutorial is intended for computational chemists using <strong>Desmond</strong> in setting up and<br />

running molecular dynamics simulations. It assumes a broad familiarity with the concepts<br />

and techniques of molecular dynamics simulation.<br />

Prerequisites<br />

<strong>Desmond</strong> runs on Intel‐based Linux ® systems with Pentium 4 or more recent processors;<br />

running CentOS 3 (RHEL3) or later. Linux clusters can be networked with either<br />

Ethernet or Infiniband ® .<br />

Viparr requires a recent version of Python; we recommend Version 2.5.1.<br />

This tutorial assumes that someone has prepared the <strong>Desmond</strong>‐Maestro environment for<br />

you, either by installing the packages available from Schrödinger LLC or the Academic<br />

release of <strong>Desmond</strong> available from D. E. Shaw Research. Where noted, the procedures<br />

described in the tutorial make use of software that is not included in the Academic version.<br />

In those cases the software is available from Schrödinger.<br />
