ModelMaker

Version 0.1, a VMD plugin for creating complete models with Rosetta

ModelMaker is an all-in-one modeling solution combining the strength of established but often complicated to use modeling suits like Rosetta and Modeller with MDFF in an easy-to-use manner in VMD. Integrative modeling approaches usually aim to automate the process of structure analysis to avoid human bias, yet the experience of structural biologists may be a desirable factor in structure refinement. Therefore, ModelMaker uniquely allows for incorporation of user expertise by taking advantage of interactive MDFF, allowing for manual manipulation of the structure.

To use ModelMaker, you will need to download and install (in addition to VMD) Rosetta. Installation details for ModelMaker itself can be found here in the wiki.

Once ModelMaker is installed, in VMD's TkConsole, type modelmaker to see a list of commands. You can also type modelmaker command where 'command' is one of the available ModelMaker commands to see more information about it.
