Understanding Communication Networks in Molecular Complexes
compass is an advanced computational tool that analyzes the communication networks between protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid complexes. It leverages molecular dynamics (MD) simulation data to extract essential inter-residue properties, including dynamical correlations, interactions, and distances. For a comprehensive methodological introduction, please refer to the following paper.
The installation of compass is straightforward. Just type the following commands in your terminal (assuming you've got Anaconda or Miniconda up and running):
git clone https://github.com/rglez/compass.git
cd compass
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate compass As a command-line tool, compass requires only the path to a well-structured configuration file (refer to the documentation for instructions on preparing it). Once installed, you can run it using the following command:
compass path-to-config-file.cfgFor comprehensive documentation and tutorials, visit the wiki.
