haddock3

Introduction

HADDOCK, standing for High Ambiguity Driven protein-protein DOCKing, is a widely used computational tool for the integrative modeling of biomolecular interactions. Developed by researchers at Utrecht University in the BonvinLab for more than 20 years, it integrates various types of experimental data, biochemical, biophysical, bioinformatic prediction and knowledge to guide the docking process.

Installation

Simple installation of the latest release of HADDOCK3.

pip install haddock3

In case you rather install the latest unreleased version use instead:

git clone https://github.com/haddocking/haddock3.git
cd haddock3
pip install .

For detailed instructions and installation of third-party software, please check INSTALL.md

You might also want to check the following utilities:

• haddock-restraints: Tool to generate restraints to be used in haddock3.
• haddock-runner: Tool to run large scale haddock3 simulations using multiple input molecules in different scenarios
• haddock-tools: Set of useful utility scripts developed over the years by the BonvinLab group members

Usage

The most basic usage is:

haddock3 <configuration-file.toml>

For help on haddock3 usage:

$ haddock3 -h
usage: haddock3 [-h] [--restart RESTART] [--extend-run EXTEND_RUN] [--setup] [--log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}] [-v] recipe

positional arguments:
  recipe                The input recipe file path

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --restart RESTART     Restart the run from a given step. Previous folders from the selected step onwards will be deleted.
  --extend-run EXTEND_RUN
                        Start a run from a run directory previously prepared with the `haddock3-copy` CLI. Provide the run directory created with `haddock3-copy` CLI.
  --setup               Only setup the run, do not execute
  --log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}
  -v, --version         show version
