# SimFRET
 A Python package to simulate FRET experiments.

## Installation
The easiest way is through conda:
```
$ conda create --name SimFRET --file simfret.yml
```
## Usage 
 There are four modules (`simulate.py`, `suggest.py`, `overlap.py`, `compute.py`). <br>
 - `simulate.py` runs a quick simulation using the SMOG potential. Input files for this module can be obtained through the [SMOG Webtool](http://smog-server.org/cgi-bin/GenTopGro.pl). <br>
 - `suggest.py` suggests pairs of residues for FRET dye attachment. <br>
 - `overlap.py` overlaps the dyes to the macromolecule (some dye molecules are already available under the folder dyes). <br>
 - `compute.py` computes the FRET efficiency (ignoring frames where dye atoms are superimposed with the macromolecule). <br>
 Note: `simulate.py` and `suggest.py` are not necessary if the molecule under study has already been simulated and the places where FRET dyes are attached are known. <br>
