NAME
       gmx - molecular dynamics	simulation suite

SYNOPSIS
	  gmx [-[no]h] [-[no]quiet] [-[no]version] [-[no]copyright] [-nice _int_]
	      [-[no]backup]

DESCRIPTION
       GROMACS	is  a full-featured suite of programs to perform molecular dy-
       namics simulations, i.e., to simulate the behavior of systems with hun-
       dreds to	millions of particles using Newtonian equations	of motion.  It
       is primarily used for research on proteins, lipids, and	polymers,  but
       can  be	applied	 to a wide variety of chemical and biological research
       questions.
