We introduce TUPA, a Python-based algorithm for calculating and analyzing electric fields in molecular simulations. We also provide a PyMOL plugin to visualize electric fields within the simulation system. The features of TUPA are demonstrated through three test cases where the electric field exerted by biomolecules helps explain biological phenomena or observed kinetics.
We introduce TUPA, a Python-based algorithm to calculate and analyze electric fields in molecular simulations. To demonstrate the features in TUPA, we present three test cases in which the orientation and magnitude of the electric field exerted by biomolecules help explain biological phenomena or observed kinetics. As part of TUPA, we also provide a PyMOL plugin to help researchers visualize how electric fields are organized within the simulation system. The code is freely available and can be obtained at .
