The purpose of this database is to provide an easily-searchable source of information about movies showing biomolecular motions that have been generated by computer simulation. All of the movies are available through the Internet.

Molecules simulated include proteins, DNA, RNA, sugars and lipids. Simulation techniques include Molecular Dynamics, Brownian Dynamics and automated docking procedures.
