Two PDBs in, refined transition pathway out.
LWAKLM Desktop generates candidate intermediate structures between two protein conformations and optionally refines them for simulation-ready use. Ideal for quickly preparing starting pathways for NEB / SMD / TMD workflows.
What LWAKLM Desktop does
LWAKLM Desktop helps you go from two endpoint structures to a usable series of intermediate frames with fewer clashes, fewer broken geometries, and a clearer starting point for downstream simulation or analysis.
Conformational pathway generation
Build intermediate frames between Start and End PDB conformations for structural transitions and motion studies.
MD workflow acceleration
Prepare cleaner initial pathways for NEB, SMD, or TMD, reducing the “exploding frames” problem at the start.
Repair + refinement hooks
Optional structure repair and refinement steps help produce intermediates that are closer to simulation-ready inputs.
Workflow
A practical pipeline for turning two endpoints into a refined path.
Requirements and third-party tools
LWAKLM Desktop is an orchestration and visualization pipeline. Some advanced steps may call external tools.
