The developement of NAMD and the tutorials are funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH 9P41GM104601 -- Center for Macromolecular Modeling and Bioinformatics, NIH 5 R01 GM908243-02 -- ``Commodity Hardware Acceleration of Popular Modeling Software for Structural Biology''). Proper citation is a primary way in which we demonstrate the value of our software to the scientific community and is essential to continued NIH funding for NAMD. The authors request that all published work which utilizes NAMD include the primary NAMD citation:

Scalable molecular dynamics with NAMD. James C. Phillips, Rosemary Braun, Wei Wang, James Gumbart, Emad Tajkhorshid, Elizabeth Villa, Christophe Chipot, Robert D. Skeel, Laxmikant Kale, and Klaus Schulten. Journal of Computational Chemistry, 26:1781-1802, 2005.
