Uasge

To compute Rocklin correction. The following data is required.

• u: MDAnalysis.Universe object that contains positions, charges, radii and dimensions.
• box: The dimension (Å) of the simulation box in the form of a list (e.g. [100, 100, 100]).
• lig_netq: The total charge of the ligand.
• protein_netq: The total charge of the rest of the system excluding ligand.
• temp: The temperature of the simulation (K).
• water: The water model being used. Only rocklinc.waters.TIP3P and rocklinc.waters.TIP4P are supported for now.
• lig_selection: The MDAnalysis selection string for the ligand.
• apbs_exe: The executable path of the APBS software.

A full automatic calculation of Rocklin correction could be performed with:

    import rocklinc
    correction = rocklinc.RocklinCorrection(box, lig_netq, protein_netq, temp)
    correction.make_APBS_input(u, lig_selection)
    correction.run_APBS(apbs_exe=apbs_exe)
    correction.read_APBS()
    result = correction.compute()
    correction.write('correction.txt')

result is the correction energy, while the details are written in 'correction.txt'.
