Purpose and Algorithm

This application takes in a protein and ligand PDB files and outputs the "theta-lig" value, which is the fraction of ligand that is exposed to the solvent in the complex. See the referred paper for more details.

Tips

To generate parameter file for the ligand one can use the 'molfile_to_params.py' script.
