Abstract Summary: MDWeb and MDMoby constitute a web-based platform to help access molecular dynamics (MD) in the standard high-throughput regime. The provides tools prepare systems from PDB structures mimicking procedures followed by human experts. It inputs can send simulations for three of most popular MD packages (Amber, NAMD Gromacs). Tools analysis trajectories, either provided user or retrieved our MoDEL database (http://mmb.pcb.ub.es/MoDEL) are also incorporated. has two ways access,...
Molecular dynamics simulation (MD) is, just behind genomics, the bioinformatics tool that generates largest amounts of data, and is using amount CPU time in supercomputing centres. MD trajectories are obtained after months calculations, analysed situ, practice forgotten. Several projects to generate stable trajectory databases have been developed for proteins, but no equivalence exists nucleic acids world. We present here a novel database system store analyses acids. The initial data set...
Abstract In the recent years, improvement of software and hardware performance has made biomolecular simulations a mature tool for study biological processes. Simulation length size complexity analyzed systems make both complementary compatible with other bioinformatics disciplines. However, characteristics packages used simulation have prevented adoption technologies accepted in fields like automated deployment systems, workflow orchestration, or use containers. We present here...
The biomolecular simulation community is currently in need of novel and optimised software tools that can analyse process, reasonable timescales, the large generated amounts molecular data. In light this, we have developed present here pyPcazip: a suite for compression analysis dynamics (MD) compatible with trajectory file formats by most contemporary MD engines such as AMBER, CHARMM, GROMACS NAMD, MPI parallelised to permit efficient processing very datasets. pyPcazip Unix based open-source...
Abstract We present BioExcel Building Blocks Workflows, a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) offering access to collection of transversal pre-configured biomolecular simulation workflows assembled with the library. Available include Molecular Dynamics setup, protein-ligand docking, trajectory analyses and small molecule parameterization. Workflows can be launched in platform or downloaded run users’ own premises. Remote launching long executions user's available High-Performance...
The SEABED web server integrates a variety of docking and QSAR techniques in user-friendly environment. goes beyond the basic tools implements extended functionalities like receptor preparation, library editing, flexible ensemble docking, hybrid docking/QSAR experiments or virtual screening on protein mutants. is not monolithic workflow tool but Software as Service platform.SEABED free available at http://www.bsc.es/SEABED.

Interactive Jupyter Notebooks in combination with Conda environments can be used to generate FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable/Reproducible) biomolecular simulation workflows. The interactive programming code accompanied by documentation the possibility inspect intermediate results versatile graphical charts data visualization is very helpful, especially iterative processes, where parameters might adjusted a particular system of interest. This work presents collection...

ABSTRACT Mutations in the kinase domain of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) can be drivers cancer and also trigger drug resistance patients under chemotherapy treatment based on inhibitors use. A priori knowledge impact EGFR variants sensitivity would help to optimize design new drugs effective against resistant variants. To this end, we have explored a variety silico methods, from sequence-based ‘state-of-the-art’ atomistic simulations. We did not find any sequence signal that...

Abstract The usage of workflows has led to progress in many fields science, where the need process large amounts data is coupled with difficulty accessing and efficiently using High Performance Computing platforms. On one hand, scientists are focused on their problem concerned how data. top that, applications typically have different parts use tools for each part, thus complicating distribution reproducibility simulations. other computer concentrate develop frameworks deployment HPC or HTC...
