Informations about Strasbourg University

Location


Strasbourg Summer School - Strasbourg, France, 25 June - 29 June 2018

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).

Tutorials of the school

no publication

Tutorial on Generative Topographic Mapping

The tutorial aims at presenting the Generative Topographic Mapping (GTM) algorithm [Bishop et al, Neural Computation 10, No. 1, 215–234 (1998)].

The GTM is an unsupervised method to map high dimensional data to a two-dimensional representation. In the process, the GTM builds a probabilistic model of the data that can be exploited for data characterization, comparison or classification and regression model building. The GTM approach will be used to analyze a dataset of flavors and to explore structure-flavor relationships. It will be the occasion to get some deeper insight into the method with a particular focus on the effects of the GTM parameterization on the obtained map.

Software

The tutorial is based on three pieces of software:

  • xGTMapTool: a graphical user interface frontend for the preparation of a GTM.
  • xGTMview: an application to link the GTM trained on chemical data and the chemical structures.
  • xGTMmanifold: an application illustrating the concept of GTM manifold and data space.

The software are supplied on the USB key and can be downloaded for the OS of your choice:

  • Windows
  • Mac
  • Linux

Updated versions can be requested by contacting F. Bonachera

The licence of the software is distributed freely and a licence file, called «licence.dat» is distributed with the software for the OS of your choice (Windows, Mac or Linux).

The licence file must be installed in a proper location to be found.

  • On Windows: create the directory AppData\local\ISIDAGTM2018 directory at the root of your home directory and copy the file license.dat in it. The absolute path of the file should be similar to this one:

C:\Users\username\AppData\local\ISIDAGTM2018\licence.dat

The file and the directory should have read and write permissions.

  • On Mac: create the directory .config/ISIDAGTM2018 directory at the root of your home directory and copy the file license.dat in it. The absolute path of the file should be similar to this one:

/Users/username/.config/ISIDAGTM2018/licence.dat

  • On Linux: create the directory .config/ISIDAGTM2018 directory at the root of your home directory and copy the file license.dat in it. The absolute path of the file should be similar to this one:

/home/username/.config/ISIDAGTM2018/licence.dat

Datasets

The tutorial uses a dataset of organoleptic compounds mined (in February 2018) from the FlavorDB database [Nucleic Acids Research, 2018, Vol. 46, Database issue].

The data are distributed on the USB key and can be downloaded here: http://infochim.u-strasbg.fr/CS3_2018/Tuto1/Data/FDB.zip

Step-by-step instructions

The protocol of the tutorial session is available in the following document: http://infochim.u-strasbg.fr/CS3_2018/Tuto1/Tutorial_GTM+DH_20_06_2018.pdf


Fragment docking: how to select the correct pose?

In this tutorial, we will use a novel knowledge-based method which is applicable to scoring of fragment docking poses.

The method, named LID for Local Interaction Density, builds a consensus interaction map from all experimental observations. All reference complexes are 3D-aligned in a common frame, then the density of interactions is encoded into a grid. Docking pose are scored from the matching of fragment atoms to the grid.

Here we asked whether information on binding mode can help selecting the correct pose of fragments docked into human carbonic anhydrase II (HCA II).

Material

The complete tutorial material is available from the USB key. It can be downloaded also here: http://infochim.u-strasbg.fr/CS3_2018/Tuto2/lid_tutorial.zip

The archive uncompresses itself into a directory named lid_tutorial. The architecture of directories and files in this directory is important for the tutorial to work well.

Step-by-step instructions

The protocol of the tutorial session is available in the following document :
