Amber Insights

What is Amber?

Amber (Assisted Model Building with Energy Refinement) is a suite of biomolecular simulation programs. It is widely used for molecular dynamics simulations, particularly of proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. Researchers use Amber to study the structure, dynamics, and function of these biomolecules, often to understand biological processes or to aid in drug discovery. The Amber package includes force fields, simulation engines, and analysis tools.
