Happy to share a talk I gave to excellent colleagues in Penang, Malaysia, where I introduced MolModa (molmoda.org), my lab’s open-source platform for virtual screening: youtu.be/LIvbImMx1vo . Thanks to Drs. Habibah Wahab and Siti Jusoh for the invitation!

My lab recently built MolModa, a free, browser-based molecular docking tool. No installs, no logins—just docking that runs locally for speed and security. I hope you’ll give it a try and help spread the word! durrantlab.com/molmoda#MolMo… #MolecularDocking #CADD #ComputationalBiology

My student Erich Hellemann recently presented a poster with an embedded video. Only in the zoom era! Great job, Erich! @ehellemann

ProteinVR 1.0.7 was just released, with a new environment, trace/ribbon/tubes reps, and new color schemes (structure/lime/etc). You can also export scenes as 3D models for use in programs like Blender. Would love to see it used in research and education! durrantlab.com/pvr

I’d love to see our Webina app used to teach comp chem, structural biology, etc. It positions (docks) molecules within protein binding pockets, all within a web browser. Planning to use it in my own intro to comp bio class. durrantlab.com/webina

Sorry for the sparse details. There was an active shooter at the mall, but my family and I are safe.
