  • Real-Time Pymol Visualization for Rosetta and Pyrosetta
    Real-Time PyMOL Visualization for Rosetta and PyRosetta Evan H. Baugh1, Sergey Lyskov1, Brian D. Weitzner1, Jeffrey J. Gray1,2* 1 Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, United States of America, 2 Program in Molecular Biophysics, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, United States of America Abstract Computational structure prediction and design of proteins and protein-protein complexes have long been inaccessible to those not directly involved in the field. A key missing component has been the ability to visualize the progress of calculations to better understand them. Rosetta is one simulation suite that would benefit from a robust real-time visualization solution. Several tools exist for the sole purpose of visualizing biomolecules; one of the most popular tools, PyMOL (Schro¨dinger), is a powerful, highly extensible, user friendly, and attractive package. Integrating Rosetta and PyMOL directly has many technical and logistical obstacles inhibiting usage. To circumvent these issues, we developed a novel solution based on transmitting biomolecular structure and energy information via UDP sockets. Rosetta and PyMOL run as separate processes, thereby avoiding many technical obstacles while visualizing information on-demand in real-time. When Rosetta detects changes in the structure of a protein, new coordinates are sent over a UDP network socket to a PyMOL instance running a UDP socket listener. PyMOL then interprets and displays the molecule. This implementation also allows remote execution of Rosetta. When combined with PyRosetta, this visualization solution provides an interactive environment for protein structure prediction and design.

  • Instructions on Making Pdf Files Containing 3D
    Detailed Instructions for Creating an Embedded Virtual 3-D Image of a Molecule Creating the documents with embedded virtual three-dimensional images may be done fairly easily by repeating the following procedures. Once you have embedded your first image, the use of that image is limited only by your imagination. The following instructions are written in extreme detail with annotated screen shots of the four programs you will use throughout for clarification. Once you are familiar with the procedure embedding a structure of interest should take less than 20 min., limited only by the speed with which you can click a mouse. In practice most of our embedded 3-D images have been created by our undergraduate student collaborators. Step 1. Creating a 2-D image in ChemSketch Using ACD ChemSketch 11.0 Freeware (http://www.acdlabs.com/download/chemsk_download.html ) a two dimensional structure may be drawn as per your specific need (see Figure 1). Once the molecule is drawn, optimized it by clicking the 3-D optimization button then save as an MDL molfile (*.mol). Figure 1: A screen shot of acetone drawn with ChemSketch after 3-D optimization. Step 2. Converting the *.mol file to a *.pdb file using Open Babel The file can now be converted from a .mol file to a .pdb file, Protein Data Bank format, to be properly accessed with the Adobe Acrobat 3D Toolkit 8.1.0. The file conversion is done using Open Babel Graphical User Interface v2.2.0 (openbabel.sourceforge.net) under default settings. Step by step instructions: A.

  • Getting Started in Jmol
    Getting Started in Jmol Part of the Jmol Training Guide from the MSOE Center for BioMolecular Modeling Interactive version available at http://cbm.msoe.edu/teachingResources/jmol/jmolTraining/started.html Introduction Physical models of proteins are powerful tools that can be used synergistically with computer visualizations to explore protein structure and function. Although it is interesting to explore models and visualizations created by others, it is much more engaging to create your own! At the MSOE Center for BioMolecular Modeling we use the molecular visualization program Jmol to explore protein and molecular structures in fully interactive 3-dimensional displays. Jmol a free, open source molecular visualization program used by students, educators and researchers internationally. The Jmol Training Guide from the MSOE Center for BioMolecular Modeling will provide the tools needed to create molecular renderings, physical models using 3-D printing technologies, as well as Jmol animations for online tutorials or electronic posters. Examples of Proteins in Jmol Jmol allows users to rotate proteins and molecular structures in a fully interactive 3-dimensional display. Some sample proteins designed with Jmol are shown to the right. Hemoglobin Proteins Insulin Proteins Green Fluorescent safely carry oxygen in the help regulate sugar in Proteins create blood. the bloodstream. bioluminescence in animals like jellyfish. Downloading Jmol Jmol Can be Used in Two Ways: 1. As an independent program on a desktop - Jmol can be downloaded to run on your desktop like any other program. It uses a Java platform and therefore functions equally well in a PC or Mac environment. 2. As a web application - Jmol has a web-based version (oftern refered to as "JSmol") that runs on a JavaScript platform and therefore functions equally well on all HTML5 compatible browsers such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and Chrome.

  • Are Projects Hosted on Sourceforge.Net Representative of the Population of Free/Open Source Software Projects?
    Are Projects Hosted on Sourceforge.net Representative of the Population of Free/Open Source Software Projects? Bob English February 5, 2008 Introduction We are researchers studying Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) projects . Because some of our work uses data gathered from Sourceforge.net (SF), a web site that hosts FOSS projects, we consider it important to understand how representative SF is of the entire population of FOSS projects. While SF is probably hosts the greatest number of FOSS projects, there are many other similar hosting sites. In addition, many FOSS projects maintain their own web sites and other project infrastructure on their own servers. Based on performing an Internet search and literature review (see Appendix for search procedures), it appears that no one knows how many Free/Open Source Software Projects exist in the world or how many people are working on them. Because the population of FOSS projects and developers is unknown, it is not surprising that we were not able to find any empirical analysis to assess how representative SF is of this unknown population. Although an extensive empirical analysis has not been performed, many researchers have considered the question or related questions. The next section of this paper reviews some of the FOSS literature that discusses the representativeness of SF. The third section of the paper describes some ideas for empirically exploring the representativeness of SF. The paper closes with some arguments for believing SF is the best choice for those interested in studying the population of FOSS projects. Literature Review In one of the earliest references to the representativeness of SF, Madley, Freeh and Tynan (2002) mention that they assumed that SF was representative because of its popularity and because of the number of projects hosted there, although they note that this assumption “needs to be confirmed” (p.
