Australian-Structural-Biology-Computing/bindflow
Introduction
Australian-Structural-Biology-Computing/bindflow is a bioinformatics pipeline that generates protein binders for user-defined hotspot residues on a target protein structure. The pipeline will be executed until a user-defined number of designs pass the in-silico quality control criteria.

Bindflow is a wrapper around the BindCraft tool to allow convenient execution on HPC infrastructure. BindCraft includes 4 core binder design modules within a single tool. 1. Structure proposal (AlphaFold2 multimer hallucination) 2. Sequence design (SolubleMPNN) 3. Structure prediction (AlphaFold2) 4. Post-design quality control (PyRosetta)
[!WARNING] Post-design QC filtering is conducted with PyRosetta. Users must agree to the PyRosetta license terms.
Usage
[!NOTE] If you are new to Nextflow and nf-core, please refer to this page on how to set-up Nextflow. Make sure to test your setup with
-profile testbefore running the workflow on actual data.
First, prepare a samplesheet with your input data that looks as follows:
samplesheet.csv:
csv
id,binder_name,starting_pdb,chains,target_hotspot_residues,min_length,max_length,number_of_final_designs,settings_advanced,settings_filters
demo,PDL1,PDL1.pdb,A,"56",65,150,10,default_4stage_multimer.json,default_filters.json
Each row represents a single design instance. Detailed documentation describing job parameters can be found in the BindCraft documentation. Briefly: - id is a unique job identifier - binder_name is an identifier for the protein target. - starting_pdb contains the target structure in PDB format. - chains defines the target chains in the startingpdb. - **targethotspotresidues** defines the residue indices of the targetpdb which will be targeted by the design process. - min_length defines the minimum length of the designed binder. - max_length defines the maximum length of the designed binder. - numberoffinal_designs defines the number of binders required to pass QC criteria before the job is complete. - settings_advanced defines advanced BindCraft settings (JSON format). - settings_filters defines advanced BindCraft filter settings (JSON format).
Workloads can be distributed over multiple GPUs by setting the --batches
Now, you can run the pipeline using:
bash
nextflow run Australian-Structural-Biology-Computing/bindflow \
-profile <docker/singularity/.../institute> \
--input samplesheet.csv \
--outdir <OUTDIR>
--batches 1
[!WARNING] Please provide pipeline parameters via the CLI or Nextflow
-params-fileoption. Custom config files including those provided by the-cNextflow option can be used to provide any configuration except for parameters; see docs.
