No GUI PyMOL – computing distances for thousands of PDB files from Rosetta

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 …

Python NumPy 2.0 incompatibilities

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 …

PyMOL and Biological Units from REMARK 350

Summary Compute biological assembly from coordinates with a python script. Symmetry X-ray crystallography solved the mathematical problem to provide 3D (cartesian) coordinates but the resulting “asymmetric unit cell” does not necessarily represent the biological structure. The Protein Data Bank (PDB) now provides options to download the biological entity, which can contain a lesser number than …

Rosetta Ligand Docking – Help with Docker

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 …

Foundational concepts to understand AI: free online curricula

Summary Alignment Course is an online curriculum that provides materials in a useful order to learn fundamentals. The Governance Course offers similar material at the beginning, but then moves towards governance (regulations etc.). Within the first “SESSION” both offer a video insight titled: How ChatGPT Works Technically. Wisconsin AI Safety Initiative Founded in Spring 2023, the …
