Humphrey, Dalke and Schulten: VMD visual molecular dynamics

What changed

Molecular assemblies and simulated trajectories could be examined in one interactive analysis environment.

Scientific scope

Exact 1996 three-author VMD paper; NAMD, later VMD releases and downstream biology excluded.

Evidence

The linked sources identify this contribution and its scope. WRS has not independently reconstructed the scientific claims. The record is the exact three-author 1996 VMD paper and the system described there. NAMD, MDScope’s other components, later VMD releases and plugins, and downstream structural-biology results remain separate.
