3.1.2 for SAMSON 2024 R1
Easily define the system and specify the search domain. Find ligand unbinding pathways from the active site of a receptor in a matter of minutes thanks to the novel ART-RRT method. Select the best pathways and apply further improvements to them (see Next steps).
See the Ligand Path Finder tutorial for more information.
To create pathlines for visualization of the movement of the center of mass of a ligand you can use the Pathlines app.
The resulting paths can be significantly improved with the help of the parallel Nudged Elastic Band (NEB) method implemented in the P-NEB app.
The resulting paths can be saved in the .sam and .samx formats. If you want to export only trajectories of some atoms along the path, you can use the Export Along Paths app.
If you use this app, please cite:
