How To Install concavity on Debian 10

Learn how to install concavity on Debian 10 with this tutorial. concavity is predictor of protein ligand binding sites from structure and conservation

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install concavity on Debian 10.

What is concavity

concavity is:

ConCavity predicts protein ligand binding sites by combining evolutionary sequence conservation and 3D structure.

ConCavity takes as input a PDB format protein structure and optionally files that characterize the evolutionary sequence conservation of the chains in the structure file.

The following result files are produced by default:

  • Residue ligand binding predictions for each chain (*.scores).
  • Residue ligand binding predictions in a PDB format file (residue scores placed in the temp. factor field, *_residue.pdb).
  • Pocket prediction locations in a DX format file (*.dx).
  • PyMOL script to visualize the predictions (*.pml).

There are three methods to install concavity on Debian 10. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.
