Hi Reza, I can recommend the work of Marc-Olivier Coppens and Kourosh Malek and the references therein for an interesting journey through solvent channels. David Hargreaves Associate Principal Scientist _ AstraZeneca Discovery S

Sorry for the delayed response - The situation of 'normal' drug-lead molecule, no restriction of solvent channel access, no other hindrance to mobility, and rapid on-rates and/or/with a low Kd driving/maintaining the concentration gradient might be considered almost optimal. But let us assume th

You can use CAVER but you would have to make all the symmetry mates as one chain in order to fool it. Still better to just do the experiment I think. Either it will work or it won't, regardless of what any software tells you. Just a wild idea : ) On Fri, Jun 27, 2014 at 5:06 PM, Yarrow Madrona w

Hi, I'm not aware of a program with an option to display channels in crystals but if you use any of the currently available molecular display program and ask to display symmetry-related molecules + adjacent unit cells, it should give you a good enough idea of the spaces between molecules. Using
