Sudhir Kulkarni posted today the summary of the free MM code available.
It really seems that TINKER is the most popular, however, when it comes
to
MD simulation of peptides or proteins, I think GROMACS package is the
best, foer ease of use
and it provides a whole bunch of analyses suites. TINKER is very good at
energy minimization or MD
simulations of structures using different force fields in vacuum or
using solvation model, but very weak at MD
simulation using solvent box.

Best wishes
Sandor
