.tpb File Extension
Developer:
Gromacs
File type:
GROMACS Binary Input File
You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .tpb. Files with the file extension .tpb can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .tpb files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .tpb file?
The GROMACS software is used for molecular and biochemical data research and analysis. Some features integrated into the GROMACS application can also be used to simulate biochemical and molecular processes corresponding to the scientific and mathematical computations integrated by a GROMACS user into the biochemical and molecular data he or she entered into a GROMACS binary input file. Settings and timelines for the start point of the visualized or simulated molecular structure and other details associated to the topology configurations of the molecular strands may also be included in the content of these GROMACS binary input files. These GROMACS binary input files are integrated with text and binary formatting standards used for the generation of input files saved in the TPB format. Certain encoding specifications are also implemented into these GROMACS binary input files, and these custom specifications are used to store these text and binary-formatted scientific, mathematical and statistical data and animated content in a file appended with the .tpb extension.
how to open a .tpb file?
Launch a .tpb file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .tpb file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .tpb files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .tpb file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .tpb file will open the correct application.

GROMACS is a free application for molecular dynamics, simulating Newtonian equations of motion for systems of hundreds to millions of particles. It is mainly designed for biochemical molecules like lipids, nucleic acids and proteins that are made up of complicated bond interactions, but because of the application’s calculating ability including even non-bond interactions [usually dominating simulations], it is also being used in research for non-biological systems like polymers. GROMACS supports all usual algorithms for modern molecular dynamics, but it also has its standout features. It has a lot of algorithmic optimizations like the extraction of the virial calculation from innermost loops over pair interactions and the calculation of inverse square root. GROMACS has parameter files and topologies in clear text format. It performs consistency checking, and clearing of error messages. It will automatically open your compressed files through gzip upon reading. It has no scripting language, providing programs with a simple interface and command line options for output and input files. During simulation process, it will continuously update you the expected time and date of its completion. Its basic trajectory viewer only requires standard X libraries and other visualization applications can read file formats of GROMACS. Any version of GROMACS can run trajectories and input files even when compiled by a different floating-point precision. The software has fully automated topology constructor for proteins and multimeric structures. It has building blocks for 20 standard amino acid residues and modified ones, 4 deoxynucleotide and 4 nucleotide residues, sugars and lipids, special groups such as hemes and small molecules.a word of warning
Be careful not to rename the extension on .tpb files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.
what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .tpb. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
