Given the growing interest in path sampling methods for extending the timescales of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, there has been great interest in software tools that streamline the generation of plots for monitoring the progress of large-scale simulations. Here, we present the WEDAP Python package for simplifying the analysis of data generated from either conventional MD simulations or the weighted ensemble (WE) path sampling method, as implemented in the widely used WESTPA software package. WEDAP facilitates (i) the parsing of WE simulation data stored in highly compressed, hierarchical HDF5 files, and (ii) incorporates trajectory weights from WE simulations into all generated plots. Our Python package consists of multiple user-friendly interfaces: a command-line interface, a graphical user interface, and a Python application programming interface. We demonstrate the plotting features of WEDAP through a series of examples using data from WE and conventional MD simulations that focus on the HIV-1 capsid protein C-terminal domain dimer as a showcase system. The source code for WEDAP is freely available on GitHub at https://github.com/chonglab-pitt/wedap .

Introduction: Gait analysis is a vital tool in the assessment of human movement and has been widely used in clinical settings to identify potential abnormalities in individuals. However, there is a lack of consensus on the normative values for gait metrics in large populations. The primary objective of this study is to establish a normative database of spatiotemporal gait metrics across various age groups, contributing to a broader understanding of human gait dynamics.

We introduce the first version of GPU4PySCF, a module that provides GPU acceleration of methods in PySCF. As a core functionality, this provides a GPU implementation of two-electron repulsion integrals (ERIs) for contracted basis sets comprising up to functions using the Rys quadrature. As an illustration of how this can accelerate a quantum chemistry workflow, we describe how to use the ERIs efficiently in the integral-direct Hartree-Fock build and nuclear gradient construction.

Bayesian network modeling (BN modeling, or BNM) is an interpretable machine learning method for constructing probabilistic graphical models from the data. In recent years, it has been extensively applied to diverse types of biomedical data sets. Concurrently, our ability to perform long-time scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on proteins and other materials has increased exponentially.
