MDPOW documentation¶
MDPOW is a python package that automates the calculation of solvation free energies via molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In particular, it facilitates the computation of partition coeffcients. Currently implemented:
- water-octanol partition coefficient (POW)
- water-cyclohexane partition coefficient (PCW)
Calculations are performed with the Gromacs MD software package [#GromacsWrapper]_. Currently, OPLS-AA force field parameters are supported.
As input, the user only needs to provide a structure file (PDB or GRO) and a Gromacs ITP file containing the parametrization of the small molecule (e.g. from LigandBook or ParamChem).
