eBDIMS is a coarse-grained hybrid Elastic Network/Brownian Dynamics model to generate transition pathways between two functional protein end-states.
An integrated tool to generate eBDIMS pathways is available at https://login.biophysics.kth.se/eBDIMS.
To fine-tune algorithm parameters, or to use large or incomplete structures, the stand-alone packages contained within this repository can be used.
- Run the pdbParser script to retrieve the Carbon-alpha atoms for two end-state structures
- The output files from step 1 (i.e. start and target end-state strucutres) are used as input to execute the eBDIMS simulation
