[attract] as a sampling module #1027

Description

Desired feature/enhancement

Add a rigid fragment-based protein-ssRNA doking pipeline, performed by the ATTRACT docking engine, as a sampling module of HADDOCK.

Motivation

  1. Introduces a dedicated docking workflow for protein-ssRNA complexes within HADDOCK, eliminating the need for CNS-based sampling;
  2. Could potentially be executed in an anchored manner, when a single fragment is docked using restraints (obtained using experimental data, etc.), and consecutive fragments are docked using restraints towards the previous fragment(s);
  3. Could potentially be expanded to protein-protein and protein-DNA docking (supported by ATTRACT but outside of my current competency).

Description

[attract] module should handle the full docking workflow, consisting of the following steps:

  1. Preparation of the input folder, protein coarse-graining
  2. Sampling, a per-fragment rigid-body energy minimisation, with or without restraints
  3. Scoring with ATTRACT scoring function or with HIPPO
  4. Assembly of RNA fragments into a full-chain docking models
  5. Conversion of a limited number of models back to all-atom representation
