flare™
Study the conformational changes of proteins and assess the stability of protein-ligand complexes
The dynamic stability of protein conformations has become a key technique in the study of proteins and protein-ligand complexes. Flare provides a dedicated interface to create, playback and analyze Molecular Dynamics trajectories, based on OpenMM.
Flare enables highly customized or standard configurations for calculations enabling both bespoke and rapid setup of experiments. Key features in dynamics calculations are:
The analysis of dynamics trajectories in Flare provides the feedback you need to make decisions.
