Explore topological changes across protein conformational changes.

ConfTopo runs as a Streamlit app. The preferred method of running the application is within a Docker container. Optionally, instructions are provided for running locally on macOS.

Regardless of the execution modality, first clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/maduprey/conftopo.git

1. Install Docker.
2. cd into the repository.

1. Start Docker. For example, on most Linux distros:

   systemctl start docker

2. Build the Docker image:

   docker build -f docker/Dockerfile -t conftopo .

3. Run the Docker container:

   docker run -p 8501:8501 conftopo

4. In your browser, navigate to the Streamlit app at http://localhost:8501/

1. Download and install UCSF ChimeraX 1.5. If the ChimeraX executable is installed somewhere else, edit the path /Applications/ChimeraX-1.5.app/Contents/MacOS/ChimeraX in chimerax.py.

2. cd into this repository.

3. Using conda, create and activate a virtual environment conftopo with pip installed:

   conda create -n conftopo python=3.8
   y # Accept any new packages that will be installed
   conda activate conftopo

4. Install the required Python packages:

   poetry install
   pip install streamlit==1.16.0

1. Start the Streamlit app:

   streamlit run run_conftopo.py

2. In your browser, navigate to http://localhost:8502/
