This morning whilst writing some reports I wanted to show some rotamer populations of my spin label attached to the protein. Whilst MMM provides visualisation, and having had discussions with Jeschke I understand just how difficult it is to do, I do …
This is the second part of the lab server setup guide. Mainly for my own memory purposes, but if you find it useful then so much the better.
As previously discussed all of the machines in the lab are mounted onto the server using NFS …
With a recent change of machines in the lab, I thought that I should update the backup server according to reflect the new machines. However, upon inspection the backup server OS hard drive had died long ago; but then what do you expect when you use …
Today I’ve been trying to come up with a nice way of visualising the binding interface between protein-protein or protein-DNA complexes. What follows is a quick little walk-through mostly for my own purposes so that I can remember what …
In the last week I’ve had some need to setup some new PCs to control some of our machines in the lab. The problem being that the control interface between machine and PC is quite complicated and uses some pretty niche software, on the openSUSE …
This week I’ve been cloning machines, but each new machine has slightly different hardware, even if it’s just a MAC address or serial number.
So, a quick disclaimer I’m using openSUSE 11.3 and so things will be slightly different …
Recently my (Ubuntu 11.10 64bit) machine stopped playing nice with PyMOL and whenever I tried to render or move an object I was facing a >40 second render time, while both of my CPU cores jumped to >90%
When I paid close attention to the …
Under the new Ubuntu release (11.10 Oneiric Ocelot), trying to run MatLab gets the following error

MatLab will still load, but will effectively be useless and can only be …
Rosetta is a very useful program for the prediction of protein structure, folding and interactions be that docking with proteins or ligands.
However, the current version of Rosetta (3.2.1) uses SCons to compile itself on your system. This is usually …
MatLab requires the use of libraries (think translation dictionaries) to run code that is outside of it’s native realm (a hybrid C).
The most common of computing languages are those of C and Fortran (an old machine code).
The problem is that …
I recently had our backup server at work die. Upon investigation the Kubuntu 8 server had had it’s OS drive and one of the RAID1 data disks corrupted to such an extent it couldn’t boot. The bad data disk was so bad that it couldn’t even be assigned a …
Recently I bought myself 2 new Western Digital (WD) drives for my home NAS box. Doing the good thing for the planet and not wanting massive electricity bills, I thought I’d try the recommend Western Digital Green Drives. Drives that are touted …
