MSMS is a fast algorithm for computing molecular surfaces. It was developed by Dr. Michel F. Sanner as part of his PhD thesis. It has been widely used for computing and displaying Solvent Excluded Surfaces for proteins. MSMS is used by various molecular visualization programs including VMD, Chimera, and PMV.
- package scripps-msms¶
- Versions:
2.6.1-0- Additional platforms:
osx-arm64
Installation¶
You need a conda-compatible package manager (currently either pixi, conda, or micromamba) and the Bioconda channel already activated (see Usage). Below, we show how to install with either pixi or conda (for micromamba and mamba, commands are essentially the same as with conda).
Pixi¶
With pixi installed and the Bioconda channel set up (see Usage), to install globally, run:
pixi global install scripps-msms
to add into an existing workspace instead, run:
pixi add scripps-msms
In the latter case, make sure to first add bioconda and conda-forge to the channels considered by the workspace:
pixi workspace channel add conda-forge
pixi workspace channel add bioconda
Conda¶
With conda installed and the Bioconda channel set up (see Usage), to install into an existing and activated environment, run:
conda install scripps-msms
Alternatively, to install into a new environment, run:
conda create -n envname scripps-msms
with envname being the name of the desired environment.
Container¶
Alternatively, every Bioconda package is available as a container image for usage with your preferred container runtime. For e.g. docker, run:
docker pull quay.io/biocontainers/scripps-msms:<tag>
(see scripps-msms/tags for valid values for <tag>).
Integrated deployment¶
Finally, note that many scientific workflow management systems directly integrate both conda and container based software deployment. Thus, workflow steps can be often directly annotated to use the package, leading to automatic deployment by the respective workflow management system, thereby improving reproducibility and transparency. Check the documentation of your workflow management system to find out about the integration.
