Probe Molecules

Probe molecules and their fractional composition, shown below, were selected based on analysis of FDA approved drugs [AB12]_. The best composition for a specific system may, however, depend on the surface properties of the target. For a protein with a highly charged surface, increasing the proportion of acetate and isopropylamine might perform better in identifying ligandable sites.

      Isobutane (0%)

Among these, isobutane is not included in the default configuration due to its high propensity to aggregate. If it is included, it should have a small fraction.

Topology & Parameter

Probe atom types and parameters are based on protein side-chains described in CHARMM force field. Below topology and parameter files distributed with the plugin are shown:
