I'm currently in the first year of my tenure-track appointment at Cal Poly Pomona. My PhD work was in biophysical simulation, so the learning curves associated with particular MD packages wasn't a problem. But now, I'm at a predominantly undergraduate institution and I'd like my research students to use the most straight forward (ie, simplest) MD software available. Any suggestions?
