Hello all,

 

I am struggling to write a python program that takes protein sequence as input and produces some conformations as the output (with no any other input data).

With the help of previous replies, I tried merging the examples: “structure_from_sequence.py”, “charm_forcefield.py” and “basic_optimization.py” and wrote a script that is attached.

This script runs and produces chimera python files that I can visualize through chimera.

 

1. Will the script that I have prepared work as an example to produce 3D structures with just sequence as input? OR have I made any fundamental/conceptual mistakes while merging them?

2. I can produce chimera python files for each of the predicted conformations. But I want pdb files. Is it possible to do that? Are there any examples?

3. Is it possible to add contacts restrain (distance between atoms as a restrain) moving forward with this approach?

 

Sincerely,
