text: RMSD
description: Calculate the root mean square deviation (RMSD) between distance
pairs within selected points, perform best of fit of coordinates to a reference
first.

GIST:
text: GIST
description: Perform the grid inhomogenous solvation theory (GIST), a method for
analyzing the strutre and dyanmics of solvent in the vicinity of a solute molecule.
aliases:
- GIST

BAR/PBSA:
text: BAR/PBSA
description: BAR/PBSA is a method developed to address inability of alchemical
simulations to handle elecronic polarization effects upon ligand transfer from
water to the protein interior. Used to post-process alchemical simulation trajectories
to incorporate the polarization effects in a continuum manner.
