BioExcel Building Blocks tutorials: Structural DNA helical parameters from MD trajectory
github.com/bioexcel/biobb_wf_dna_helparmsThis tutorial aims to illustrate the process of extracting structural and dynamical properties from a DNA MD trajectory helical parameters, step by step, using the BioExcel Building Blocks library (biobb). The particular example used is the Drew Dickerson Dodecamer sequence -CGCGAATTCGCG- (PDB code 1BNA). The trajectory used is a 500ns-long MD simulation taken from the BigNASim database (NAFlex_DDD_II entry).

SQUARNA is a tool for RNA secondary structure prediction. It can take a single RNA sequence or an alignment of sequences as input. SQUARNA handles pseudoknots and can predict alternative structures. SQUARNA allows structural restraints and chemical probing data as additional input and is available at https://github.com/febos/SQUARNA and https://larnal.imol.institute/.
Converts Protein Data Bank structures into 3D-printable models. Each polymer chain is meshed separately and written as a named object in a single 3MF file, so a multi-material printer can assign one filament per chain. Protein chains can be rendered as a solvent-excluded surface, a cartoon, or a backbone tube; nucleic acids as a tube-and-rung form with the strands of a duplex welded at every base pair. Press-fit magnet pockets are optionally placed at chain interfaces, so a complex comes apart where its subunits actually meet. All meshes are checked for watertightness before export.
This BioExcel Building Blocks library (BioBB) workflow provides a pipeline to setup DNA structures for the Ascona B-DNA Consortium (ABC) members. It follows the work started with the NAFlex tool to offer a single, reproducible pipeline for structure preparation, ensuring reproducibility and coherence between all the members of the consortium.
