Hi Prasanth!
If your protein of interests have a buried active site and/or you would
like to analyse the ligands' flow through a particular cavity, I would
recommend you a software developed by my research group, the AQUA-DUCT
program.
In case you save the simulation frames after each picosecond (for longer
simulations, more than 100 ns, after 5 ps), AQUA-DUCT will provide you
pathways of each ligand's molecule, enable clustering the ligands on the
protein's surface and give you detailed statistics on, for example which
way do the ligands enter the binding pocket, how fast are they moving, how
long are they staying inside the cavity etc.
If you're interested, please check the AQUA-DUCT website:
http://www.aquaduct.pl/
We have recently added some new features and published another AQUA-DUCT
paper. It's a quite powerful, but still not so popular tool for analysis of
MD simulations.
I hope, it will be helpful in your case!
Best regards,
Karolina Mitusińska
