Pre-conference events

Monday 27th June 2016 (University of Strasbourg): Crash course in Chemoinformatics (lectures and tutorials).


Informations about Strasbourg University

Location


Strasbourg Summer School - Strasbourg, France, 27 June - 1 July 2016

Welcome to Strasbourg !

Its magnificent Cathedral, its fine food, "La Petite France" the typical quarter beloved of the tourists, not to mention the Grande-Ile, a UNESCO World Heritage site, have given it its reputation as a city anchored in History and Tradition.

Located in the "Esplanade" district, the Central Campus is near Strasbourg historical center. Also called "Esplanade Campus", it is the main University of Strasbourg Campus, regrouping University headquarters and many University of Strasbourg elements (including the "Tour de Chimie"), as well as the main part of the research units. Several independant high schools are present as well (Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Strasbourg and INSA).


Conference Location

The conference will be held in two locations :

  • The CDE (European College) : 46 boulevard de la Victoire 67000 STRASBOURG (Website)
  • The "Tour de Chimie" (Chemistry Tower - Faculty of Chemistry) : 1 rue blaise pascal 67000 STRASBOURG (Website)

These two buildings, both located in the Central Campus, are close to one another with an easy access :

Tutorials of the school

no publication

Tutorial 1

The tutorial requires several software:

  • Chemaxon’s InstantJChem: this is a friendly interface to manage a database on chemical topics. You shall obtain the software through the web page of the editor here. The software can be downloaded and installed for free, but with limited functionality yet sufficient for the present tutorial. Evaluation licenses can be requested for free to the editor, through the contacts web page. For more details refer to the download web page.
  • Weka 3.9.0: a complete open source solution for data mining. It can be downloaded at this page.
  • ExtCrossValidate: an application to split a dataset in SDF format into training and test sets according to various strategies. The software is provided into the USB key of the school. It can be downloaded here:
    • Linux
    • Windows
    • Mac. You need to uncompress the archive to get the application and application bundle.
  • xFragmentor: an application to compute ISIDA Substructural Molecular Fragment descriptors with a GUI interface.
    • Linux
    • Windows
    • Mac. You need to uncompress the archive to get the application and application bundle.
  • xModelAnalyzerR: an application for interactive analysis of regression models compatible with the Weka software outputs.
    • Linux
    • Windows
    • Mac. You need to uncompress the archive to get the application and application bundle.

The dataset is a sample of the IUPHAR database dedicated to the serotonin receptor 5-HT2B (IUPHAR_5HT2B.sdf).

All materials for the tutorial, except the software, are included into this zip archive.

Tutorial instructions are located here.


Tutorial 2

The tutorial requires the use of the KNIME software. It is provided on the USB keys of the school. It can be dowloaded on the download page of the software editor. The software can be downloaded and used for free.

The tutorial uses the PLANTS software for docking. But for reasons of time, all the outputs generated by the software on the test cases are provided. Therefore, it is not necessary to have access the PLANTS software to perform the tutorial.


The tutorial will focus on the analysis of the docking outputs generated by the PLANTS software using KNIME. All files are provided into zip archive.

Instructions can be found here:
