The PerMM web server and database were developed for quantitative analysis and visualization of passive translocation of bioactive molecules across lipid membranes. The server is the first physics-based web tool that calculates membrane binding energies and permeability coefficients of diverse molecules through artificial and natural membranes (phospholipid bilayers, PAMPA-DS, blood-brain barrier, and Caco-2/MDCK cell membranes). It also visualizes the transmembrane translocation pathway as a sequence of translational and rotational positions of a permeant as it moves across the lipid bilayer, along with the corresponding changes in solvation energy. The server can be applied for prediction of permeability coefficients of compounds with diverse chemical scaffolds to facilitate selection and optimization of potential drug leads. The complementary PerMM database allows comparison of computationally and experimentally determined permeability coefficients for more than 500 compounds in different membrane systems. The website and database are freely accessible at https://permm.phar.umich.edu/ .
