Workshop prep

https://openforcefield.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMMS/pages/2719055920

  • Protein prep workshop

    • JW – Is PDB2PQR unambiguously good? Compared to PDBFixer/reduce/PROTOSS/etc?

      • JM – Uses ProPKA under the hood.

      • JW – That’s good, I’ve heard of that.

    • JW – Protein with heme?

    • JW – Will this run on colab? The notebook you have now is running on your beefy machine

      • JM – Should be fine on colab, the slow steps are CPU limited.

    • JM – Tried OpenFold, huge weights file that needs to be loaded, very involved. Most of the workshop complexity would end up being getting it installed/weights downloaded/inference to run.

    • JW – Would be good to have a way to help people understand WHEN our tools can be used. Like a green/yellow/red system, where we say “if your input has green characteristics, it’s fine. If it has yellow, then you may need to use other tools/open a text editor/cut out some things. If it’s red, then this isn’t suitable for our ecosystem.”

  • SMIRNOFF workshop

    • JM – Looking at some good candidate systems. Like CRISPR inhibitor (protein+NA+ligand).

  • Signups

    • JM – Draft form -

    • Dates?

      • Feb 20, 28, Mar 12 @ 3 PM Los Angeles/10 AM Canberra

      • Apr 10, 17, 24 @ 2 PM Berlin/1 PM London/8 AM New York

      • We will confirm times at our next check in
