## Summary
This article compares notable computer programs used for nucleic-acid simulation, modeling the [[Structure|structure]] and dynamics of DNA and RNA molecules. Such tools apply molecular-dynamics and coarse-grained methods to study folding, interactions, and conformational behavior. They support research in structural biology, nanotechnology, and drug design. The comparison surveys the methods, capabilities, and licensing of available packages.
