Open Source Python Molecular Science Software

ProtPOS is a self-contained, lightweight, and easy-to-use software package for predicting the preferred orientation of protein on a given surface upon initial adsorption. It searches quickly for the low energy protein poses in all translational and rotational degrees of freedom of the protein with respect to the surface using particle swarm optimization. Each successful run returns the lowest energy orientation of the protein on the surface in PDB format, which is readily used for MD simulations. ProtPOS is implemented in Python, making use of the PyMOL library for generating protein conformations and calling GROMACS externally to calculate protein-surface interaction energies. https://cbbio.online/software/protpos/

Use SASSIE to generate and manipulate large numbers of molecular structures and then calculate the SAXS, SANS, and neutron reflectivity profiles from atomistic structures. Use for intrinsically disordered proteins. We need alpha-testers and developers.
