MSMExplorer is a Python visualization library for statistical models of biomolecular dynamics. It provides a high-level interface for drawing attractive statistical graphics with MSMBuilder.

Online documentation is available here. It includes IPython notebooks, detailed API documentation, and other useful info.

There are docs for the development version here. These should correspond with the github master branch.

from msmbuilder.example_datasets import FsPeptide
from msmbuilder.featurizer import RMSDFeaturizer

import msmexplorer as msme

# Load Fs Peptide Data
traj = FsPeptide().get().trajectories[0]

# Calculate RMSD
featurizer = RMSDFeaturizer(reference_traj=traj[0])
rmsd = featurizer.partial_transform(traj).flatten()

# Plot Trace
msme.plot_trace(rmsd, label='traj0', xlabel='Timestep', ylabel='RMSD (nm)')

The documentation has an example gallery with short scripts showing how to use different parts of the package.

• Python 3.4+

The latest versions of the following packages are required:

• numpy

• scipy

• matplotlib

• networkx

• pandas

• seaborn

• statsmodels

• corner

• mdtraj

• msmbuilder

The preferred installation mechanism for msmexplorer is with conda:

$ conda install -c omnia msmexplorer

If you don't have conda, or are new to scientific python, we recommend that you download the Anaconda scientific python distribution.

To install from PyPI, just do:

pip install msmexplorer

You may instead want to use the development version from Github, by running

pip install git+git://github.com/msmexplorer/msmexplorer.git#egg=msmexplorer

All development happens here, on Github.
