CECAM-Setup / MDWeb & MDMoby

MDWeb and MDMoby:

Workshop Slides

MDWeb and MDMoby constitute a web-based platform to help access to molecular dynamics (MD) in the standard and high-throughput regime. The platform provides tools to prepare systems from PDB structures mimicking the procedures followed by human experts. It provides inputs and can send simulations for three of the most popular MD packages (Amber, NAMD and Gromacs).

The platform has two ways of access, a set of web-services based on the BioMoby framework (MDMoby), programmatically accessible and a web portal (MDWeb).

MDWeb Setup tutorial:

A complete setup tutorial using MDWeb can be found here:

or here in pdf format :

A complete manual of MDWeb can be found here in pdf format

All the Web Services and Workflows offered by MDWeb server are also accessible programmatically (see reference paper for more details). In order to ease the installation of the needed libraries (specially BioMoby libraries), we have built a docker container.

MDMoby Docker Container:

We have prepared a docker container to easily install the required libraries and play with MDMoby Workflows. To install a docker engine (if you don’t have it already installed), please go to the docker home page and follow the easy steps explained in Get Started with Docker to install the required software for your specific OS (Mac, Windows or Linux):

https://www.docker.com/

After that, pull the prepared MDMoby docker container:

#!docker

docker pull adamhospital/mdmobydocker

To run the docker container, type:

#!docker

docker run -it adamhospital/mdmobydocker /bin/bash

Availability: https://hub.docker.com/r/adamhospital/mdmobydocker/
