Summary Run the ColabFold version of AlphaFold2 on your laptop (slow without GPU) or on a large Linux cluster. The full tutorial with scripts is located at ColabFold with HTCondor What is AlphaFold2 Excerpt from a previous post (Five ways to run AlphaFold) AlphaFold can accurately predict 3D models of protein structures by providing an …
Summary We run a script to compute the distance between 2 atoms in a series of PDB files with identical molecules in different conformations and save the distance results into a plain text file. No GUI PyMOL In previous posts I explained how we can use PyMOL as a command-line tool from a Terminal when …
Summary The new Numpy 2.0 is not compatible with many other packages, as I discovered after many lost hours. The final Docker images can be downloaded from alleleanalyzer. NumPy in a Docker I was interested to implement a process involving Python packages from a paper published in 2019: “AlleleAnalyzer: a tool for personalized and allele-specific …
Computational Modeling This is the general title of a new Tutorials pull-down menu that will be populated with new or updated tutorials. It can be found within the Tutorials menu list as Computational Modeling The very first tutorial is the result of an update to a Rosetta tutorial for “ligand docking” and adapt the Linux-based …
Summary Combine software and scripts on Docker and local macOS computer (Intel amd64 or arm64 Silicon Chip M series) to follow successfully the Rosetta tutorial Ligand Docking with a G-Protein Coupled Receptor. This method will allow to access the native OS speed while fulfilling all preparatory and exploratory steps that fail or are too complex …
Summary PyMOL command scripts are available natively and within Docker images. PyMOL Scripts PyMOL offers a very easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) to manipulate loaded molecule, and alter the appearance and coloring options. However, while this is easy, it is not the “best way” to use PyMOL if one wants to be able to reproduce …
Summary sandbox.bio provides interactive tutorials for exploring bioinformatics command-line tools within a web browser. Bioinformatics When people ask “what is bioinformatics” I have to pause. When I named a computer “bioinformatics” at the dawn of the Internet Age (1994) it made sense to me base on the French language: “informatique” is a French word for …
Summary This article describes running AlphaFold2 with full databases at the UW-Madison Center for High Throughput Computing (CHTC) and is part of an article series titled Five ways to run AlphaFold. CHTC cluster, HTCondor, Containerization The UW-Madison Center for High Throughput Computing (CHTC) offers free computing accounts for all UW-Madison personnel and offer the full …
Summary Computing a PNG image for each of 1,000 PDB files as a cartoon, color-coded by B factor. PyMOL without GUI PyMOL is routinely used by Biologists to illustrate molecules, using the graphical user interface (GUI.) However, there are situations where it may be beneficial to run PyMOL without using the mouse. I recently computed …
