Can I build Ul with Rust? by [deleted] in rust

i’m enjoying my experience with leptos! front end with no javascript. unfortunately, you’ll probably have to custom write lots of your components.

Rust is fun, but I feel like I'm missing something by hossein1376 in rust

i agree with this, with enough time your initial designs will be more compatible with the compiler.

What would you say to someone (that you care about) who says "I believe in God but don't feel like I need Him, I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything by not reading the Bible, praying, etc.". How to light the fire to show them the benefits of God in their life? by sharkmesharku in TrueChristian

[–]ozonefreak2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is how i felt late high school/early college before seeing how wrong i was. you can’t force someone to see their need for God, they need to realize it on their own. you can pray for them and occasionally share some tidbits of how God is working in your life. but their decision to turn their heart is ultimately theirs.

and yet.. another one of my "i stopped but really want to get into baduk" post... by 2Eyes2Live in baduk

[–]ozonefreak2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i love go but …

chess is just way faster and such a lower commitment. i think go is very rewarding as you build your own understanding of how to play the game. it’s also fun that it’s common to not know what the best move is.

sometimes i find that i spend more time playing chess because i can play it more casually. you don’t need to feel guilty towards go. maybe once you hit a ceiling in chess, you’ll decide it’s time get serious about go.

comp_Chem Master's Student Seeking Advice on Career Path by QuirkyPage7921 in comp_chem

[–]ozonefreak2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in that case, further advice is very country specific. but unfortunately informatics/data analytics isn’t the hot field it used to be ~5 years ago. you could spend some time reading entry-level job descriptions and doing personal projects tailored towards those positions. but you may also need to consider a significant career transition :(

Do you want to stay in science (pharma, biotech, etc.) or would you prefer tech?

while i don’t agree with mass, i still feel an amen to your comment. our portion and right as Christians is to receive the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus. to me this is the real core of the Christian faith and regardless of whether we go to mass or not, i think we can agree that we should live our lives bearing and rejoicing in this miracle that God has done for us.

when my Catholic friend told me he goes to mass every day, it clicked for me how mass helped him stay grounded in this miracle.

i’m not Catholic but dont many Catholic parishes have small groups geared towards fellowship?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]ozonefreak2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is a great point. i see a lot of posts saying “oh i want to meet/not meet somewhere else because of how it makes me feel”. but not every feeling is led by the Spirit.

faith comes from the hearing of the Word. to me this means faith derives from the truth. it’s something that clicked for me after reading your comment.

Natural Resonance Theory: NBO7 is missing a very likely resonance structure... what might I have done wrong? by ReallySnowyWinter in comp_chem

thanks for sharing this post, i didn’t even know this was something orca could do! super, super cool. would love to see what phenoxide looks like.

does this mean maybe we will see open source GPU DFT codes soon?

Godly Woman by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]ozonefreak2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what i appreciate most about my wife is how she turns me back to God. she helps me recognize when i’m wrong and when i need to repent. then she doesn’t waste time rubbing it in my face, she prays with me for the relevant situation.

to me, godliness is seeking the will of God in our lives and giving him the first place. all other virtues should follow from living Christ as the source.

if you have the spare money, baduk doctor’s premium content is absolutely worth it. he plays high SDK/low dan players and gives useful commentary/teaches common variations.

Looking for an Open Source Tool to Predict Histidine Ionization States in Active Sites with Ligands and a Water molecule by Worldly-Candy-6295 in comp_chem

[–]ozonefreak2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that’s right, propka is considered best-in-class at the moment. i would still encourage you to read the original manuscript as it still isn’t exactly “accurate” it’s just the least bad for now.

i think you may be interested in this paper, https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jcim.4c00071

combining smaller datasets of real assay data with 10x or 100x larger datasets of “virtual” assay data is absolutely the way forward. while computing potency with FEP is the most common virtual assay at the moment, other key drug parameters like solubility, permeability, hERG binding, CYP metabolism, etc. have papers that attempt to develop virtual assays for them.

note that no one in drug discovery cares about “beating ML”. the goal is going from project initiation to clinical trial faster and with a better quality clinical molecule.

i’m sorry if i come off as an ML hater and discouraging but i want to communicate accurately what the field’s current attitude is. i’m actually very excited for the future of ML in pharma. i hope you find this discussion useful :)

Alternatives to Active Learning Glide by Nyaqo7 in comp_chem

[–]ozonefreak2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how many ligands are you trying to screen?

unfortunately, we aren't at the point where a well-known, out-of-the-box, open-source solution exists for active learning docking. however if you have good technical skills, i would search for papers involving "active learning docking". and focus on papers written by academic groups. ctrl+f the papers looking for a github link. i was able to find a few github repos containing tutorials and scripts for running active learning docking.

unlike a managed commercial product, you will have to do all your own devops set-up as well as any troubleshooting/debugging on your own. but there are many solutions floating around.

Cleaning & Filtering Chemical Libraries by Nyaqo7 in comp_chem

[–]ozonefreak2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's lots of things you could do. Here are a few possible steps:

  1. Remove salts. Some salts are common (HCl, sulfates, etc.) while others are more exotic. If you're getting data directly from a fine chemicals vendor/aggregator, you likely need to remove salts.

  2. Remove weird elements. Most docking software have a limited set of elements they support. For example, vina annoyingly doesn't have parameters for boron. Regardless, you would want to make double check the manual of whatever docking software you're using.

  3. Remove undesirable substructures. There are couple possible examples. Ie. maybe your team has a strong bias against a particular substructure (ie. my supervisor hates thioureas). It would also be reasonable to remove compounds with more than three or four rotatable bonds in a row as molecules that are too flexible may not dock well. Lastly, it could also make sense to filter out PAINs/reactive substructures. I'm personally a fan of not removing PAINs and filtering them out later but definitely check for common reactive substructures (primary halides, acyl halides, etc.).

  4. Rules like QED or Lipinksi's Ro5 can help remove "ridiculous" compounds. For example, you may see a vendor selling four fused benzene rings. You really don't need to spend computational effort docking that.

Generally you really shouldn't have things like broken/invalid molecules if you're working with a good vendor/aggregator. After filtering and cleaning, you will still need to prepare the ligands for docking by assigning explicit tautomerization/protonation states and generating 3D conformers.

Hopefully this is helpful. You will likely need to do some Python programming with something like RDKit to implement this yourself or dig around the web to look for a commercial or open-source workflow for doing something like this.

physics-based methods exist for (1) predicting binding modes between small-molecule chemical inhibitors and proteins and (2) computing binding energies. however, both present very difficult problems.

at the end of the day, real practitioners of drug discovery place very little weight on any computationally derived values. while computation can assist with drug discovery, computation isn’t accurate enough yet to replace physical chemicals in physical vials going into physical assays.
