Taba

Highlights

Taba (Tool to Analyze the Binding Affinity) generates scoring functions to predict binding affinity based on the atomic coordinates of a protein-ligand complex. It employs a polynomial equation where the terms are mass-spring potentials. Taba calculates average interatomic distances and takes them as equilibrium distances for a mass-spring potential. The mass-spring potential equation and the equilibrium constants for each pair of atoms compose the Taba Force Field (TFF). We are currently updating Taba and expect to release a new version of Taba by September/2023. It is indicated below a flowchart highlighting the main steps of Taba. Please cite the following reference (da Silva et al., 2020) if you use the Taba program.
