Moe is a very expensive package that cannot be downloaded.
unfortunately I have not found a free linux based molecule editor, there
is a free windows molecule editor from arguslabs in Seattle; search for
arguslabs to find it.
Simulated annealing is not molecular dynamics per se. In SA you heat
system to very high temperatures and slowly cool while using MD. This
process is generally only used for small molecules because a protein would
blow apart and never come back together again in age of the universe.
