Information about the package, apbs, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The apbs package is designed for, Adaptive Poisson Boltzmann Solver.
Package Name:
apbs
Summary:
Adaptive Poisson Boltzmann Solver
Description:
APBS is a software package for the numerical solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE), one of the most popular continuum models for describing electrostatic interactions between molecular solutes in salty, aqueous media. APBS was designed to efficiently evaluate electrostatic properties for such simulations for a wide range of length scales to enable the investigation of molecules with tens to millions of atoms. It is also widely used in molecular visualization (in such applications as PyMOL).
