FREE Webinar Reminder1

I work with two very different groups of people who end up with the same question. Does this molecule actually work?

  1. Founders ask me this before an investor meeting, when a failed wet lab experiment could cost tens of thousands of dollars and months they do not have.
  2. PIs ask me this when they need simulation data for a manuscript but do not have the compute or the expertise in house to get it done.

I am hosting a FREE Webinar where I will walk through exactly how I answer that question.

I work with founders who need investor ready data and PIs who need publication ready simulations. I will show you, live, how that validation actually works.

Here is what I will cover:

  1. For founders: how I validate a molecule before you talk to investors, so you are not blindsided by a costly wet lab result later.
  2. For PIs: how I handle a simulation project when you need publication ready data but do not want to build out your own compute infrastructure.
  3. Live Q and A: bring your own questions, I will answer them live and point you toward what applies to your situation.

Date and time: August 15, 2026, 9:00 AM CT

If you already know which of these two problems applies to you, reply to this message and let me know. It helps me prepare answers that are useful to you rather than generic responses.

Best,

Omar

I always use MMGBSA and MMPBSA as initial binding energy methods. Then use free energy perturbation (FEP) method to assess how accurate my two initial measurements were. So, the sequence of usage goes like this: 1) MMGBSA2) MMPBSA3) FEP The only downside of using FEP is that is computationally expensive. And not many groups have the possibility of using that one. But if you do, please go ahead and use it. Thank you, Best, Omar. © ProteinReach|2026 SciLearningWorkshops LLC Unsubscribe ·...

During my PhD, I was lost in GROMACS MDS outputs. If you’re just getting started, that huge number of files can be overwhelming; I know that’s how I felt. To help with that, I put together a quick reference guide covering the most common GROMACS file extensions and what they do. Please save it and share it with a colleague who’s just starting with MD simulations! Thank you, Best, Omar. © ProteinReach|2026 SciLearningWorkshops LLC Unsubscribe · Preferences

I used Boltz-2 to predict the structure of a ligand-bound mutant protein complex (AtFAAH S305A bound to OdDHL) which I worked with during my PhD. The ligand, OdDHL, is a quorum sensing molecule. The crystal structure of this complex was previously resolved at 3.5 Å resolution, so not the highest quality.When comparing the predicted and experimental structures using the superimpose tool in PyMOL, I noticed that the Boltz-2 prediction successfully folds certain regions that were unresolved in...
