Overview

TIES is a python library for the relative binding free energy (RBFE) calculations.

TIES superimposes ligands and prepares the input files for molecular dynamics simulations. These simulations can be carried out with either NAMD or OpenMM using the package TIES_MD.

For the details about the protocol and its validation please refer to the following publications
