Protein-Ligand Characterization Playbook

Published 26 days ago • 1 min read

I spent years figuring out protein-ligand workflows the hard way. I put together this playbook to help you get ahead in protein modeling.
​
When I started in protein modeling, I wanted to try everything at once: docking, MD, different force fields, etc, with no clear path or direction.
​
That kind of abundant information doesn't help your learning. It actually slows you down.
​
That experience is exactly why I put together this playbook.
​
I put together a comprehensive framework to help you get started with the analysis and foundational understanding of modeling protein-ligand complexes.
​
It summarizes years of experience into a few digestible pages, giving you a clear starting point instead of an overwhelming set of options.
​
From protein structure prediction to MD simulations, with attention to the details that matter at each step.
​
It's designed to be a reference you can return to whenever you need to guide yourself within the pipeline.
​
Whether you're new to the field or expanding into a part of the workflow you haven't worked with before, this gives you the foundation to dive deeper into any specific topic with confidence.

And if you have any questions, I'm always just one Email/DM away.

Am I the only one who sees a huge disconnect between protein designs and how efficiently they can be executed in the wet-lab? What do you think it’s missing?What could be done for it be improved? Are the datasets used to train those models not good enough anymore?What do you think? Best, Omar. © ProteinReach|2026 SciLearningWorkshops LLC Unsubscribe · Preferences

I came across a nanodisc-based purification approach that just changed how I think about membrane protein biochemistry. I wish I had known about this during my PhD.This approach, developed by Cube Biotech, allows the purification of membrane binding proteins without detergents. It relies instead on a copolymer based nanodisc technology.What makes this especially compelling is that the nanodiscs create an environment that closely resembles a native cell membrane.Here is what stood out to...

Do you struggle with assessing the movement of specific residues of your protein during MDS? Here, I have a tool that can help you with that……It’s called eRMSF, and it allows you to assess the movement of residues during molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) runs at specific time points. So no need to rely on average values in a traditional RMSF plot, instead, you can complement that with eRMSF. You’ll be able to have a better sense of the types of domains, regions in your protein that are...
