 ### ###
 +Protein-protein interactions play a crucial role in molecular recognition and cellular function. Mapping them, provides important insight on how these structures interact and on how to improve or inhibit their binding. ​
 +###
 +###
 +CompASM presents here as a very intuitive plug-in ​ for two widely distributed softwares ( AMBER-Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD)) that allows the user to perform a full Alanine Scanning Mutagenesis (ASM) procedure, requiring only  very little user effort. This software is composed by two main packages: the Core and Graphical User Interface (GUI). ​
 +###
 +###
 +The CompASM Core section (Amber dependent, VMD independent) contains the main procedures of the ASM algorithm, e.g. Molecular Dynamics Simulation and MMPBSA calculation. It can be launched in a shell command and/or with the “Run” button of the GUI.  ​
 +###
 +###
 +The CompASM GUI section (Amber independent,​ VMD dependent) turns possible the communication between Amber and VMD. Here, the user can generate the input file and submit it to the CompASM Core automatically,​ as well as being able to visualize the interfaces and the final results.

   - Install the VMD software ( if you haven'​t yet installed).   - Install the VMD software ( if you haven'​t yet installed).
-  - Extract vmdMagazine.zip file to a directory in the disk+  - Download ​the CompASM package
-  - Once unpacked, we need to let VMD know of this locationTo do so, edit your VMD start-up file and add the biopathfinder plugin directory to the auto_path variable (see below)+  - Uncompress the tar.gz (or .zip) file to your Desktop folder 
-  - Once this procedure is complete ​the BioPathFinder plugin can be found at the VMD extensions menu (CompBioComp>>​vmdMagazine)+  ​Run the installation program: 
-  ​+     
 +    
 +Unix OS- Open a shell window ​and type: 
 +     cd 
 +     cd Desktop/​CompASM 
 +     ​tclsh8.5 install.tcl 
 +     
 + 
 +Windows- Double-click on the install.tcl file 
 + 
 + 
 +  - Follow ​the instructions given in the window 
 +  - Start VMD. 
 +  ​- Edit amber_run.sh file to a proper sander launch (file containing the command to launch sander tool)
