dssp-wsl
Converting PDB (Protein Data Bank) file format to DSSP file format is required for generating datasets of peptides and their secondary structures.
Such a task should be permitted when using BioPython. However, on Windows, the lack of the program dssp
stucks everything.
Fortunately, linux distros provide dssp
or mkdssp
installation, and Windows Subsystem for Linux is an easy-to-get thing. We hereby provide this simple script to wrap calling dssp/mkdssp
from wsl
, and you can install it via:
pip install dssp-wsl
Other than installing dssp-wsl
On Windows, you should also install WSL (see hints), and use sudo apt install dssp
inside the subsystem. Then you rework BioPython.
