dcTMD

This package aids in the analysis of dissipation-corrected targeted molecular dynamics (dcTMD) simulations. The method enforces rare unbinding events of ligands from proteins via a constraint pulling bias. Subsequently, free energy profiles and friction factors are estimated along the unbinding coordinate. For a methodological overview, see our article.
