Dear all,
I am starting to work with NAMD.
One of the analysis I need to do is to compute the binding free energy of a
ligand interacting with a protein. To do such a task, I configured the CaFE
plugin in VMD (Github <https://github.com/HuiLiuCode/CaFE_Plugin> and
reference <https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btw215>). It uses two
methods: (1) the mmpbsa procedure and (2) the LIE (linear interaction
energy) procedure.
For the LIE method, the program needs, as input, a file resulting from
running a conformational sampling study for the ligand.
My doubt: What is a conformation sampling and how it is
implemented/configured in NAMD?
I know packages that search the conformational space for a molecule and
generate a library of conformers using systematic and Monte Carlo searches
but have no clue about how molecular dynamics do that sampling.
[]'s,
Camps
