This application takes in a protein and ligand PDB files and outputs the "theta-lig" value, which is the fraction of ligand that is exposed to the solvent in the complex. See the referred paper for more details.

Sample command
~/Rosetta/main/source/bin/theta_lig.macosgccrelease -input_protein_ligand_complex protein_ligand_complex.pdb -input_protein protein.pdb -input_ligand LIGAND_0001.pdb -extra_res_fa LIGAND.params
General Rosetta Options
-database Path to rosetta databases
-input_protein_ligand_complex : PDB file of protein-ligand complex
-input_protein : PDB file of bound protein
-input_ligand : PDB file of bound ligand
To generate parameter file for the ligand one can use the 'molfile_to_params.py' script.
