8 For those just starting out with |Gromacs| and / or :ref:`Molecular Dynamics Simulations <gmx-md>` it can be very daunting.
9 It is highly recommended that the various and extensive documentation that has been made available for |Gromacs|
10 is read first, plus papers published in the area of interest.
15 * |Gromacs| :doc:`/reference-manual/index/` - very detailed document that can also act as a very good introduction for :ref:`MD <gmx-md>` in general.
16 * :doc:`Flow Chart </user-guide/flow>`- simple flow chart of a typical |Gromacs| MD run of a protein in a box of water.
17 * Molecular dynamics simulations and GROMACS introduction
