Projects

Professionally maintained open-source software for biomolecular simulation — every component a step toward a general predictive biomolecular simulator.

Core frameworks

Our flagship platforms, used across academia and industry.

  • BioSimSpace Logo

    BioSimSpace

    Our flagship framework: a Python layer that makes popular molecular simulation tools interoperable, so a workflow written once can run across different engines.

  • Sire logo

    Sire

    A molecular simulation framework providing extensive functionality to manipulate representations of biomolecular systems. It underpins BioSimSpace and provides standalone command-line applications for simulating protein–ligand interactions in pharmaceutical research.

Tools

Focused, open components built to remove specific bottlenecks in biomolecular simulation — each developed through frontier project work and released for anyone to use.

    loch

    Loch

    CUDA-accelerated Grand Canonical Monte Carlo water sampling — placing and sampling water molecules in buried binding sites, where getting the water right often decides whether a prediction is usable.

    Ghostly Logo

    Ghostly

    Handling of dummy (“ghost”) atoms in alchemical free energy calculations — a subtle but critical detail in making free energy predictions reproducible between engines and groups.

    SOMD2 Logo

    SOMD2

    Our next-generation alchemical free energy engine, built for GPU-accelerated binding free energy calculations at industrial throughput.

    Tutorials suite

    Hands-on teaching material for our frameworks and methods, supporting our training, upskilling, and dissemination work with scientific communities.

Need one of these adapted – or something that does not yet exist?

Most of these tools began as a partner's bottleneck. If you have a problem that needs new capability rather than an off-the-shelf answer, that is exactly the work we take on.
