# GROMACS Biosim Runner Skill

## Purpose
Provide specialized integration with GROMACS for biomolecular simulations including protein dynamics, free energy calculations, and enhanced sampling methods.

## Capabilities
- Topology preparation and solvation
- Energy minimization workflows
- NPT/NVT equilibration protocols
- Free energy perturbation setup
- Trajectory analysis (RMSD, RMSF, RDF)
- Enhanced sampling methods (metadynamics, replica exchange)

## Usage Guidelines
- Use appropriate water models (TIP3P, TIP4P, SPC/E)
- Select force fields compatible with target biomolecules (AMBER, CHARMM, OPLS)
- Follow standard equilibration protocols
- Monitor system stability during production runs

## Dependencies
- GROMACS
- pdb2gmx
- MDAnalysis
- PLUMED (for enhanced sampling)

## Process Integration
- Molecular Dynamics Simulation Setup
- High-Performance Computing Workflow
