Updates from MolSSI

User questions

  • JW – Gathering lists of biopolymer datasets

    • DD – Constrained+unconstrained protein fragments, as well as torsiondrives on backbone and some sidechain angles

    • JH – Disacchrarides set is up there, not sure about justification for selection, we had trouble with formatting so it was never submitted

  • PB – Will there be a new QCSubmit release? Could use a stable release that fixes the deduplication errors.

    • JH – Yes

    • JH – Need to figure out whether we can get threading into submissions.

    • DD – Let’s talk about this. We’re working on refactoring the qcclient and could incorporate the threading there.

    • @Jeffrey Wagner will make qcsubmit package once Josh tells him it’s good for release.

  • DD – BP, could we give JH write access to QCArchive?

    • BP – Yes
