System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

The CAVER skill identifies and analyzes transport tunnels in protein structures to map how substrates could traverse from buried active sites to the surface, enabling tunnel engineering and design insights.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects tunnels in static PDBs or MD ensembles and reports bottlenecks, lengths, radii, and curvature.
  • Clusters tunnels across frames, ranks clusters by throughput, and generates ready-to-visualize outputs (summary, analysis, data, PyMOL/VMD scripts).
  • Supports starting-point specification (atoms, residues, or coordinates), containerized execution via Apptainer/SIF, and downstream integration with design workflows.

Quick Start

Run the CAVER SIF on your input PDB/MD ensemble to discover tunnels, generate cluster reports, and create visualization assets.
