The last post in the Protein Structure series ended with: “In the next post, I will use Biopython to import a structure and do some fairly introductory calculations”. In this post I will pick up from there. Installing Biopython While there are multiple ways in which one can make use of Biopython, I will use it… Read More »
Note the content listed here is the same used by the Software Carpentry community. Since it had already been well covered there, I am only reproducing it here. Please note that the instructions listed here worked up till June, 2018. Problems setting up Python may arise over time. The ones that I become aware of… Read More »
The previous post ended with: “The next post in this series will start by introducing the format used by RCSB in its structure files (PDBs) along with the first use of programming to interact with that data (apart from simply eyeballing it).” In the last post I brought up why we cannot “see” protein structures,… Read More »
Finally managed some time to continue with this series. The last post ended with: “The next post in this series will be a continuation of this work and will address our ability to determine protein structures experimentally and lead into public protein structure databases which we will be frequently using to analyse and get meaningful… Read More »
An introduction to this series: To be explicitly clear, these set of articles don’t intend to be superior to any other existing body of knowledge on the subject of protein structures. What is intended here is just another textbook introduction followed by a very context specific description of these beauties so… Read More »
Having not added content for a while I think its the right time to start putting together a series of articles centered around my area of expertise, namely Protein Structures. In this series of articles I will aim to cover some basic essentials about: Protein Structures. What are they? Why do we need structures? How… Read More »
IDRACK is now accepting expression of interests from students, faculties and universities to host scientific training workshops in 2019. If you are interested please follow the steps outlined below: If you haven’t already filled out the general scientific interest survey please do so now. Please visit our IDRACK’s Facebook page and comment on the latest post… Read More »
This is the first training event organised by IDRACK, in 2018, in collaboration with the Khwarizmi science society (KSS) and the Centre for Excellence in Solid State Physics at the University of the Punjab, Lahore. Objective: This workshop is being organised with two objectives in mind: To introduce Software Carpentry in Pakistan and encourage people to… Read More »
The previous post illustrated in a simple way the use of Python for scientific computing purposes. This article extends the previous post by introducing the concept of parallel programming. The previous example will be used, so if you haven’t run that yet, I suggest you do that now. Modifications will be made to the previous… Read More »
Building on the previous post, which covered a very simple example using a for loop, this post will take things up a notch. As discussed before, there are many resources available on the internet for learning Python. This blog doesn’t attempt to teach you Python. Instead it provides exposure on using the Python programming language… Read More »
