Bentopy makes assembling large-scale molecular dynamics models accessible and fast.
Building realistic molecular models of cellular environments requires placing proteins, RNA, and metabolites at physiological concentrations within geometrically complex environments.
Bentopy integrates compositional data from proteomics and metabolomics with structural data from cryo-electron tomography and structure prediction to construct simulation-ready molecular models.
We demonstrate these capabilities with three systems: a whole bacterial cell, a mitochondrion with compartment-specific compositions, and a SARS-CoV-2 virion in a respiratory aerosol.
