MagiC: Software Package for Multiscale Modeling.

We present software package MagiC, which is designed to perform systematic structure-based coarse graining of molecular models. The effective pairwise potentials between coarse-grained sites of low-resolution molecular models are constructed to reproduce structural distribution functions obtained from the modeling of the system in a high resolution (atomistic) description. The software supports coarse-grained tabulated intramolecular bond and angle interactions, as well as tabulated nonbonded interactions between different site types in the coarse-grained system, with the treatment of long-range electrostatic forces by the Ewald summation. Two methods of effective potential refinement are implemented: iterative Boltzmann inversion and inverse Monte Carlo, the latter accounting for cross-correlations between pair interactions. MagiC uses its own Metropolis Monte Carlo sampling engine, allowing parallel simulation of many copies of the system with subsequent averaging of the properties, which provides fast convergence of the method with nearly linear scaling at parallel execution.
