Description
CHOMP - Generate BROOD Fragment Database is a utility to the lead generation tool BROOD. CHOMP allows users to fragment molecules, filter the fragments, generate 3D conformations, organize and index the fragments for rapid searching, and write a Brood database.
The minimal input into CHOMP is a dataset, file, or collection of 2D molecules.
The output from the CHOMP floe is a BROOD Database collection that can be used as input for the BROOD floe. The CHOMP floe also optionally produces a tarball database file that can be used to run the BROOD application on a local machine. Please ensure that the Output database name does not contain spaces; otherwise, the floe will fail.
The CHOMP floe requires high memory and disk machines, at different stages, based on the input. The default values for these parameters have been set to handle up to ~1 million drug-like molecules as input. For larger jobs, these cube parameters would need to be scaled up. It is recommended that you adjust the control parameters following the below guidelines, before starting a job.
Chunk Size: Set the chunk size so the number of chunks is ~250. For example, for ~1 million drug-like molecules, the suggested chunk size is the default value of 4000.
Memory (MiB) (Chomp Fragments): Multiply the default memory value by the ratio of change in chunk size. For example, if the default chunk size is doubled, multiply the default memory by 2.
Memory (MiB) (Chomp Builder): Set this value to ~0.002 times the number of fragments.
Memory (MiB) (Chomp DB Generator): Set this value to ~0.01 times the number of fragments.
Temporary Disk Space (MiB) (Chomp DB Generator): Set this value to ~0.01 times the number of fragments.
Please note that these guidelines are approximate, and the specific values may differ for each input. A recommended 10% increase in memory and disk space values is advised to provide a margin of safety.
