General updates

• JW – Monday is a holiday

• JW – Forked forcebalance, name may change but here’s the repo we can use: https://github.com/openforcefield/openff-forcebalance

• MT – I have no tasks related to exscientia stuff, ball is in their court.

Issues/PRs

• MT – Protein workflow speedups

  • Molecule.to_topology is slow and used in label_molecules, involved molecule serialziation roundtrips

    • JW – I’d be excited for a faster deepcopy, the serialization rountrip is just lazy and safe.

  • Pint unit deserialization takes 60% of protein ff loading time (1 sec of 1.5-2 sec). I don’t think this can be improved

  • ParameterAttributes have performance problems. For example, multiple k values are required to have the same unit when stored in a list. This added 100ms in loading time.

    • JW – If the speedup were greater this might be worth it, but 100ms one time for FF loading in this case isn’t too bad.

  • I may look into streamlining the chemical_environment_matches codes.

    • JW – This is dangerous and even I don’t really understand all the details of smarts matching, so maybe leave this alone and I’ll come back to it later.

  • There’s probably a lot of stuff I could improve in interchange.

  • I don’t see any evidence that things are so bad that users will have serious problems. T4 lysozyme takes 2-4 sec to load into a molecule, total 15 secs to make an openmm system. I’d like to cut that down a lot.

• JW – T4 is a little small, maybe check for super-linear scaling in something bigger like https://github.com/openforcefield/protein-ligand-benchmark/blob/main/data/pfkfb3/01_protein/crd/protein.pdb (400-some residues)

• MT – Can I just make a protein from sequence?
