Software pipeline used to generate diverse protein structural ensembles, for the purpose of seeding multiple parallel molecular dynamics simulations, and subsequent construction of Markov state models. This branch contains a version of MSMSeeder which runs via the distributed computing framework Spark (https://spark.apache.org/)

- Retrieve protein target sequences and template structures.
- Build models by mapping each target sequence onto every available template structure, using Modeller (http://salilab.org/modeller/).
- Filter out non-unique models (based on a RMSD cutoff).
- Refine models with implicit solvent molecular dynamics simulation.
- Refine models with explicit solvent molecular dynamics simulation.
- (optional) Package and/or compress the final models, ready for transfer or for set-up on other platforms such as Folding@Home.
scripts/ - Python wrapper scripts which accept parameters from the command-line or project metadata file
MSMSeeder/ - main code; can be used as a standalone Python library package
tests/ - to test whether the code is working correctly, run nosetests from this top-level directory
