+ProtoMol is an object-oriented, component based, framework for molecular
+dynamics (MD) simulations. The framework supports the CHARMM 19 and 28a2 force
+fields and is able to process PDB, PSF, XYZ and DCD trajectory files. It is
+designed for high flexibility, easy extendibility and maintenance, and high
+performance demands, including parallelization. The technique of multiple
+time-stepping is used to improve long-term efficiency. The use of fast
+electrostatic force evaluation algorithms like Ewald, particle Mesh Ewald (PME),
+and Multigrid (MG) summation further enhances performance. Longer time steps
+are possible using MOLLY, Langevin Molly and Hybrid Monte Carlo, Nose-Hoover,
+and Langevin integrators. In addition, ProtoMol has been designed to interact
+with VMD, a visualization engine developed by the University of Illinois that is
+used for displaying large biomolecular systems in three dimensions. ProtoMol is
+freely distributed software, and the source code is available.
