BENDER Sample — Biological ENsembles of Disordered proteins across taxa

A representative sample of CALVADOS coarse-grained molecular dynamics trajectories from the full BENDER dataset, comprising sequences across 8 taxonomic groups.

Each protein folder contains:

<uniprot_id>.dcd — CALVADOS Ca trajectory (200ns+)
top.pdb — topology file
