BindProfX Linux tool set-up (2024)

Hi all,

I am attempting to set up the BindProfX tool for Linux (https://zhanggroup.org/BindProfX/download/). Upon download, I read the README, which appears a bit outdated. Has anyone set up the BindProfX Linux tool recently? Can you provide a list of what must be done for complete installation?

Thank you.

The BindProfX tool was last updated in 2017 but its standalone tool should still work fine.

Thank you for getting back to me. I understand the tool should work fine, but I'd like to know whether the instructions in the README are up-to-date because they appear not to be. I want to set up the BindProfX tool as intended, and I would appreciate clarification if its current README is exhaustive and up-to-date.

I am in the process of testing it right now. On another note, can any of the BindProfX scripts take advantage of multiple CPU cores or, better yet, GPUs?

No, BindProfX is single threaded.

I noticed the formula for the final weighted score has changed. Are the 0.75/0.25 weights better than the 0.9/0.4 weights?

Here is the relevant code:

Code: Select all

#FinalScore_list=[x if ',' in m else 0.9*x+0.4*f for x,f,m in \
            #zip(XProfScore_list,FoldXScore_list,mutation_list)]
        FinalScore_list=[0.75*x+0.25*f for x,f,m in \
            zip(XProfScore_list,FoldXScore_list,mutation_list)]

The 0.75/0.25 weights are for FoldX3. 0.9/0.4 weights are for FoldX4 or later.
