This is a project for the course Computational Biophysics from the University of Trento, academic year 2022-2023. The repository contains the source code and initial input files necessary to reproduce all the steps detailed by the report.
The focus of this project is to analyse the dynamics of a protease of interest. The software used to simulate the trajectory is GROMACS
, which integrates the equations of motion by means of the Velocity Verlet
algorithm. Once the trajectories were obtained they were analysed, focusing on general aspects of the trajectories, as well as frames of interest, the active sites and the distribution of water around the protein. The analysis is mostly performed via Python 3 scripts. The library MDAnalysis
facilitates dealing with GRO and XTC files, as well as performing different analysis methodologies.
