Biomolecular electrostatics software

What is here?

This website serves the following software packages for biomolecular modeling, solvation, and electrostatics.
  • APBS (Adaptive Poisson-Boltzmann Solver): software for evaluating the electrostatic properties of nanoscale biomolecular systems
  • PDB2PQR: an automated pipeline for the setup, execution, and analysis of Poisson-Boltzmann electrostatics calculations

What does it do?

We offer tutorials and background material for users interested in learning more about applying this software to their biomolecular modeling problem.  The following Wordle image summarizes the titles and abstracts from over 1700 papers that have cited APBS and PDB2PQR.

What is new?

  • PDB2PQR 1.8 released We are pleased to announce the release of PBD2PQR 1.8.  This version includes support for the new PROPKA 3.0 pKa software, several improvements to the command line extensions functionality, as well as improvements to the PDB2PQR web server.  A full list of changes is available in the release history page.As usual, PDB2PQR can be run through the web or downloaded for use on your computer.  Access to both the web server and the downloadable software is available at http://www.poissonboltzmann.org/pdb2pqr/d.Thank you for your continuing support of PDB2PQR.Sincerely,The PDB2PQR Development Team
