KPerm - Toolkit for Analysis of Permeation Cycles in Potassium Channels

License PyPI DOI

KPerm, released together with our JCTC paper, is a Python package specifically for identifying selecivity filter occupancy in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of potassium channels.

Installation

You are recommended to install the latest release of KPerm via pip in a virtual environment with Python >=3.8.

pip install kperm

Examples

Jupyter Notebook

Command-line Interface

# same as Channel.run(), computing SF occuapncy and identifying permeation events
kperm run -s coord_file -f traj_1 traj_2 traj_3 ...

# speed things up if you are not interested in SF oxygen flip and water occupancy
kperm run -s coord_file -f traj_1 traj_2 traj_3 ... --noFlip --noW

# compute summary of permeation events of all selected simulations 
# use it after running "kperm run"
kperm stats -s coord_file -f traj_1 traj_2 traj_3 ...
