SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Many molecular modeling workflows produce heterogeneous outputs (MD trajectories, docking pose sets, single PDBs, or protein-protein trajectories) that are difficult to compare and summarize for interaction analysis; this Skill unifies those scenarios into a consistent ProLIF-based fingerprinting and summary pipeline so agents and researchers can obtain reproducible, comparable interaction metrics.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-scenario support: Fingerprint MD trajectories, summarize docking pose sets, analyze single protein-ligand PDBs, and profile protein-protein interfaces with the same ProLIF-backed interface.
  • Flexible analysis modes: Frame slicing, selection strings for ligands/proteins, interaction-type filters, count mode versus fingerprint mode, vicinity cutoffs, and optional JSON parameter overrides for ProLIF.
  • Structured outputs for automation: Produces CSV summaries, interaction frequency metrics, visualization files, and a standardized result dictionary suitable for downstream ranking, filtering, or residue-mapping workflows.
  • Operational guidance: Advises on required file-transfer preprocessing and residue numbering validation to avoid catastrophic interpretation errors when mapping residue IDs across tools.

Quick Start

Run the prolif_md mode on your uploaded trajectory and topology files to produce a CSV of interaction fingerprints and accompanying visualizations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I compute ProLIF interaction fingerprints from MD trajectories?

ProLIF interaction fingerprints from MD trajectories are computed by running the prolif_md mode on uploaded trajectory and topology files, generating CSV summaries, interaction frequency metrics, and visualization files.

Can I use ProLIF to analyze protein-protein interface trajectories?

Yes, you can use ProLIF to analyze protein-protein interface trajectories. The Skill supports multi-scenario fingerprinting, including profiling protein-protein interfaces alongside docking pose collections and single protein-ligand PDBs to produce comparable interaction metrics.

What's the best way to summarize docking poses for interaction analysis?

The best way to summarize docking poses for interaction analysis is applying the ProLIF fingerprinting pipeline to docking pose collections. This generates standardized CSV summaries and interaction frequency metrics, enabling reproducible comparison across heterogeneous molecular modeling outputs.

Does ProLIF interaction fingerprinting support frame slicing and selection filters?

Yes, ProLIF interaction fingerprinting supports frame slicing, selection strings for ligands and proteins, interaction-type filters, count mode versus fingerprint mode, vicinity cutoffs, and optional JSON parameter overrides for customized analysis workflows.

Why do residue IDs mismatch when mapping ProLIF fingerprints across different tools?

Residue ID mismatches when mapping ProLIF fingerprints across tools occur due to inconsistent file-transfer preprocessing and residue numbering validation. The Skill provides operational guidance to validate residue numbering and avoid catastrophic interpretation errors during mapping.
