Information about Obernai and the VVF "Les Géranium"

Location


  • VVF Canterelle d’Obernai Les Géraniums, Obernai, France.

Situated just 25 km from Strasbourg, at the foot of Mont Sainte Odile, Obernai lies on the famous "route des vins". It is renowned for its breweries, its wood-frame houses, quaint little streets and city ramparts. The perfect starting point to discover the traditions and cuisine of Alsace. The school will be held in the village of vacation "VVF - Les Geraniums" which provides all required facilities.

Group transportation

  • On Sunday 20 June group transportation (two buses) will be arranged from Strasbourg railway station – via Strasbourg-Entzheim airport – to the venue.
  • Bus departure times will be as follows:
    • from Strasbourg railway station: 13.30 and 15.00
    • from Strasbourg airport: 14.00 and 15.30.
  • Bus transportation back to the station and to the airport will also be arranged for Thirsday 24 June afternoon. Departure times will be finalised at a later stage in order to suit the majority.

Softwares

Here are the softwares used during the tutorial. Softwares are provided for direct download when possible, in order to guarantee that school attendees can use the very same versions.

Otherwise, follow the link to the relevant editors websites, register and download the appropriate version for your operating system. Licenses will be provided for the duration of the school. They will be included, along with all materials for the school on an USB memory stick which will be distributed to each participant.

If relevant, softwares are provided for 32bits systems unless stated otherwise.


Computer requirement

All tutorials and softwares can run on computer using 2Go of RAM and AMD4000+ or Intel Celeron E1600 processors or better. Most softwares will work on Microsoft, Linux or Apple systems with the following exceptions:

  • ISIDA/Duplicates runs only on WIndows
  • LeadIT do not run on Apple systems currently

ChemAxon

Please, register to ChemAxon web site and download JChem 5.3.3.

Chemaxon

ChemAxon provides free academic licences.


BioSolveIT

BioSolveIT

Please download LeadIT1.1.1 from the BioSolveIT website. It will also be provided on the USB memory stick distributed to the participants.

Evaluation licences valid until July 12th 2010 will be provided during
the school.

They may be extended up to the end of September 2010 by email
request to license@biosolveit.de.
Please specify that you participated at this school in your mail.

Note: The evaluation licence will cover much more than what will be used in the tutorial, namely:

  • FlexX & the built-in Corina for ring conformers
  • FlexX-Pharm
  • ReCore
  • FTrees
  • FlexS
  • 2Ddraw
  • PoseView

Note: ReCore will not be used in the tutorials. But if you want to use ReCore, you will need to create a so-called ReCore Fragment Index (*.rsx file). A smaller index to get started is shipped with the software:

  • Windows: keep the respective box ticked in the last step of the
    installation
  • Linux: go to recore_index/ and run the shell script in there.

Please mind that an index takes roughly 20mins to be created and will consume 700+MB on the hard disk plus similar temporary space during creation.
