Dendrimer Builder Toolkit (DBT)
DBT version 3 available here New libraries and simulated structures uploaded here
DBT can be used to build polymer (linear or hyperbranched) in AMBER depending upon multiplicity of joining residues (For more details please see tutorial and refer article: J. Comput. Chem. 2012, 33, 1997-2011). Thus DBT is a graphical user interface (GUI) written in PERL-Tk, which generates a set of commands (xleap/tleap) to be used further by AMBER. DBT has been integrated with AMBER10. DBT sequences and calculates the number of residues required for building dendrimer (or polymer), which further depends on core multiplicity and generation of dendrimer.
