Azulene Studio Quick Start Guide:

This guide walks you through a complete working example of using Azulene Studio to submit and monitor an Absolute Binding Free Energy job using a protein and ligand file.

You will learn how to:

a. Install azulene-studio from PyPI
b. Log in
c. Place your protein + ligand files in the correct location
d. Submit an absolute_binding job (including automatic file upload)
e. Check job status and retrieve results


Create and activate a virtual environment (optional)

For conda

conda create -n azulene-env python=3.11 -y
conda activate azulene-env

For Python

# Create a virtual environment
python -m venv azulene-env

# Activate the environment on Windows
azulene-env\Scripts\activate

# Activate the environment on macOS / Linux
source azulene-env/bin/activate

a. Install azulene-studio from PyPI

pip install azulene-studio

Confirm installation:

python -m azulene.main --help

CLI commands: azulene / azu

Installing the package adds two equivalent console commands — azulene and its short alias azu — so every example below can be run as azulene <command> or azu <command> (e.g. azulene login / azu login), or as python -m azulene.main <command>.

Deprecation: the old opal command (and import opal) still work but are deprecated aliases from the pre–Azulene Studio naming, and will be removed in a future release. Prefer azulene / azu (and import azulene).

Choosing a backend (azulene config env)

Everything talks to production unless you say otherwise, and most people never need to change that. If you are testing against the development backend:

azulene config env            # which one am I on, and what else is there
azulene config env devel      # use development from now on
azulene config env --reset    # back to production

Each environment is a separate account with its own jobs and credits, so each needs its own azulene login; sessions are kept apart, and switching back does not ask you to log in again. azulene whoami always prints which one you are on.

For a single command, or in a script, AZULENE_ENV=devel azulene ... does the same without saving anything. To reach a project neither name covers — a branch deployment, a local stack — set AZULENE_SUPABASE_URL and AZULENE_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY together; setting only one is an error rather than a silent fallback to the production value for the other. In Python these are read when azulene is imported, so export them before import azulene, not after.


b. Log in

Run:

python -m azulene.main login

The CLI will securely prompt you:

Your email: example@gmail.com
Your password: **********

After this, Azulene Studio stores your auth tokens locally so you don’t need to log in again.


c. Example protein and ligand files

Azulene Studio ships with bundled example files you can use right away:

from azulene.examples import T4_LYSOZYME_BENZENE_PDB, BENZENE_BOUND_SDF, TOLUENE_SDF

The CLI will automatically detect these as local files, upload them to Azulene Studio, and replace the paths with storage URLs.


d. Submit an absolute_binding job

The job type is:

absolute_binding

The required parameters are:

{
  "pdb_file": "",
  "ligand_file": "",
  "ligand_smiles": ""
}

Example 1: Using the bundled sample files

from azulene import jobs
from azulene.examples import T4_LYSOZYME_BENZENE_PDB, BENZENE_BOUND_SDF

result = jobs.submit(
    job_type="absolute_binding",
    input_data={
        "pdb_file": str(T4_LYSOZYME_BENZENE_PDB),
        "ligand_file": str(BENZENE_BOUND_SDF),
        "ligand_smiles": "c1ccccc1"
    }
)

print(result)

You should see something like:

📤 Uploading local files...
✅ Job submitted successfully
{
  "job_id": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "submitted",
  "message": "Job submitted successfully"
}

Example 2: Absolute Binding Free Energy (Ligand Already in PDB)

This example runs an absolute_binding job using:

  • A protein PDB file
  • A ligand inside the PDB file
  • A SMILES string for the ligand
  • Shortened equilibration & production lengths
  • Only 1 protocol repeat
from azulene import auth, jobs
from azulene.examples import FKB_MODEL_PDB

# 1. Log in (Only if you haven't logged in)
auth.login(email="your@email.com", password="yourpassword")

# 2. Submit the job
input_data = {
    "pdb_file": str(FKB_MODEL_PDB),
    "ligand_smiles": "CS(=O)C",
    "protocol_repeats": 1,
    "ligand_in_pdb_file": True,
    "complex_prod_length": 0.1,
    "solvent_prod_length": 0.1,
    "complex_equil_length": 0.02,
    "solvent_equil_length": 0.02
}

result = jobs.submit(
    job_type="absolute_binding",
    input_data=input_data
)

print(result)

e. Submit an Absolute Aqueous Solvation Free Energy job

The job type is:

aqueous_solvation

The required parameters are:

{
  "smiles": ""
}

Example: Using a simple SMILES (CCO)

from azulene import jobs

result = jobs.submit(
    job_type="aqueous_solvation",
    input_data={
        "smiles": "CCO"
    }
)

print(result)

You should see something like:

✅ Job submitted successfully
{
  "job_id": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "submitted",
  "message": "Job submitted successfully"
}

f. Other useful commands

1. List your jobs

Last 5 jobs (default):

python -m azulene.main jobs get-jobs

All jobs:

python -m azulene.main jobs get-jobs --all

Filter by job type and status:

python -m azulene.main jobs get-jobs \
  --job-type absolute_binding \
  --status completed

Filter by date:

python -m azulene.main jobs get-jobs \
  --start-date 2025-12-01T00:00:00Z \
  --end-date   2025-12-05T00:00:00Z

2. Check a specific job

python -m azulene.main jobs get --job-id YOUR_JOB_ID

This returns:

  • job status
  • input data
  • results (if completed)
  • timestamps
  • any error messages

3. Poll running jobs

python -m azulene.main jobs check-running-jobs

Use this to check on running jobs.


4. Cancel a job

python -m azulene.main jobs cancel --job-id YOUR_JOB_ID

Only works if the job is still running.

This guide shows how to:

  1. Log in
  2. Submit a job
  3. Inspect and filter jobs
  4. Get / cancel a specific job
  5. Poll running jobs
  6. Check service health & job types

How to download Azulene Studio

pip install azulene-studio

0. Imports (Python)

from azulene import auth, jobs

1. Log in

from azulene import auth

res = auth.login(email="test@example.com", password="pass123")
print(res)  # {"ok": True, "message": "Logged in successfully!"}

You stay logged in via locally stored tokens until you explicitly log out.


2. Check who you are

from azulene import auth

res = auth.whoami()
print(res)
# {
#   "ok": True,
#   "user": { ... full user object ... },
#   "slim": {
#       "email": "...",
#       "role": "...",
#       "approved": True,
#       ...
#   }
# }

3. Submit a single job

Example job type: generate_conformers with a SMILES and number of conformers.

from azulene import jobs

res = jobs.submit(
    job_type="generate_conformers",
    input_data={"smiles": "CCO", "num_conformers": 5},  # dict
)
print(res)
# {"ok": True, "data": {"job_id": "...", "status": "submitted", ...}}

(You can also pass a JSON string instead of a dict if you want.)


4. List and filter jobs

By default, the server returns the last 5 jobs for the current user. You can ask for all jobs, limit, or filter by job_type, status, or date range.

from azulene import jobs

# Last 5 jobs (default)
print(jobs.get_jobs())

# All jobs
print(jobs.get_jobs(all_jobs=True))

# Last 10 jobs
print(jobs.get_jobs(limit=10))

# Filter by job_type and status
print(
    jobs.get_jobs(
        job_type="generate_conformers",
        status="completed",
    )
)

# Filter by created_at date range (ISO timestamps)
print(
    jobs.get_jobs(
        start_date="2025-12-01T00:00:00Z",
        end_date="2025-12-05T00:00:00Z",
    )
)

Each call returns something like:

{"ok": True, "data": [ { "id": "...", "job_type": "...", ... }, ... ]}

5. Get a specific job

Once you have a job_id, you can fetch that job’s details.

from azulene import jobs

res = jobs.get(job_id="YOUR_JOB_ID")
print(res)
# {"ok": True, "data": { "id": "...", "status": "...", "input_data": {...}, "results": {...}, ... }}

6. Cancel a job

If a job is still running, you can cancel it.

from azulene import jobs

res = jobs.cancel(job_id="YOUR_JOB_ID")
print(res)
# {"ok": True, "data": {...}}

7. Poll running jobs

This endpoint checks any currently running jobs and update their statuses.

from azulene import jobs

res = jobs.check_running_jobs()
print(res)
# {"ok": True, "data": {...}}  # depends on your backend payload

8. Health check

Check that the Azulene Studio backend is reachable.

from azulene import jobs

res = jobs.check_health()
print(res)
# {"ok": True, "data": {...}}  on success

9. Discover available job types

List job types supported by the current backend.

from azulene import jobs

res = jobs.get_job_types()
print(res)
# {"ok": True, "data": {"job_types": [{"id": "generate_conformers", "name": "Generate Conformers", ...}, ...]}}

10. Submit a batch of jobs (same job_type, many inputs)

You can submit multiple jobs at once for a single job_type. Each entry in the list becomes a separate job under the hood.

from azulene import jobs

small_input_list = [
    {"smiles": "CCO",   "num_conformers": 5},
    {"smiles": "CCCO",  "num_conformers": 3},
    {"smiles": "CCcndO","num_conformers": 2},
]

res = jobs.submit_batch_jobs(
    job_type="generate_conformers",
    input_data=small_input_list,
)
print(res)
# {
#   "ok": True,
#   "results": [
#       {
#         "index": 0,
#         "input": {...},
#         "response": {
#             "ok": True,
#             "data": {
#                 "job_id": "...",
#                 "status": "submitted",
#                 "message": "Job submitted successfully",
#                 ...
#             }
#         }
#       },
#       ...
#   ]
# }

11. Log out

When you’re done, you can clear the local tokens.

from azulene import auth

res = auth.logout()
print(res)  # {"ok": True}

TL;DR minimal workflows

from azulene import auth, jobs

# 1) Log in
auth.login(email="test@example.com", password="pass123")

# 2) Submit a job
submit_res = jobs.submit(
    job_type="generate_conformers",
    input_data={"smiles": "CCO", "num_conformers": 5},
)
print(submit_res)

# 3) List recent jobs
print(jobs.get_jobs())

# 4) Fetch that job by ID
job_id = submit_res["data"]["job_id"]
print(jobs.get(job_id=job_id))

Azulene Studio Job Types

Every tool below is generated from the live Azulene Studio catalog — the same definitions the web wizard and azulene jobs get-job-types read. Do not hand-edit this section; run python tools/regen_job_types_docs.py instead. The same content is kept standalone in Job_Types.md.

Field names are not shared between tools. absolute_binding takes pdb_file and ligand_smiles; docking takes structure_file and drug_smiles. Copy each tool's own table.

This is the full submittable surface: fields that the Studio wizard or azulene jobs get-job-types hide as operational detail (platform, derived values) are documented here too.

4. Protein & Peptide Property Profiler (predict_protein_properties)

Description: Predict key developability properties of a protein or peptide directly from its sequence: solubility, aggregation, subcellular localization, intrinsic disorder, toxicity, melting temperature (Tm), and MHC binding (class I and II). Use it to triage or rank candidate sequences before committing to wet-lab work. Provide exactly one of a plain amino-acid sequence or a HELM string.

Category: Property Prediction · Submission modes: single, batch, workflow_node

Input Schema

Field Type Required Default Description
sequence string no — The protein or peptide sequence to score, using the 20 standard amino acids (e.g. MKTAYIAKQRQ...). Provide this or HELM, not both. Sequences longer than 1022 residues are truncated, and anything over 2044 residues is rejected.
helm string no — Peptide in HELM2 notation, e.g. PEPTIDE1{A.G.F.K.L}$$$$V2.0. Converted to a plain sequence for this tool: bracketed non-canonical residues are REMOVED from the sequence, not substituted - [Aib] and [dF] are deleted, so the peptide scored is one residue SHORTER for each. Cyclization is ignored, and only the first PEPTIDE block is read. Provide this or the sequence field. Full syntax: https://docs.azulenelabs.com/reference/helm/
properties array no [] Pick which properties to predict. Leave empty to run the full panel (all of them). Items are any of solubility, aggregation, disorder, localization, toxicity, tm, mhc.
properties_options object no {} Optional per-property settings. Only MHC binding and localization take any; the other five properties have no options and none are shown for them. For example, {"mhc": {"peptide_length": 15, "mhc_class": "II"}} runs MHC binding for class II at the given peptide length. Leave empty to use sensible defaults.
return_per_residue boolean no false Also return per-residue scores where available (currently disorder and aggregation hotspots), so you can see which regions drive each prediction. Off by default; large results are delivered as a downloadable attachment.
return_embedding boolean no false Also return the protein's sequence embedding (a numeric fingerprint), handy for downstream similarity search or clustering. Off by default.
model_variant string no 650M Model size to run. 650M (default) is fast and accurate for most uses; 3B is a larger model for slightly higher accuracy at higher cost. One of 650M, 3B.

Category: Structure-Based Drug Design · Submission modes: single

Input Schema

Field Type Required Default Description
structure_file file yes — Protein structure file (PDB or CIF format)
drug_smiles string yes — SMILES string of the covalent inhibitor (must contain a reactive warhead)
chain_id string yes — Chain identifier in the protein structure (e.g., 'A')
target_resname string yes — Three-letter name of the reactive residue. One of SER, CYS, LYS, THR, HIS, TYR.
target_resid integer yes — Sequence number of the reactive residue
target_atom string yes — Reactive atom name (e.g. OG for SER, SG for CYS). REQUIRED: it is not auto-detected, and omitting it makes the whole job run as ordinary non-covalent docking with no error - the same silent downgrade.
covalent_element string no B Element of the atom that actually REACTS, not the warhead's most conspicuous heteroatom - a vinyl sulfone reacts at the beta-carbon, so choose C. Note the default here is B (boronic acid); sequential_docking defaults the same field to C. One of B, C, S, P.
warhead_smarts string no — Custom SMARTS pattern for warhead detection. Use :1 atom map to mark the reactive atom. NOT CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED — this value is accepted and then ignored; it has no effect on the result. The warhead is detected from built-in SMARTS patterns and cannot be overridden.
protonate boolean no true Assign physiological protonation state at the target pH. NOT CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED — this value is accepted and then ignored; it has no effect on the result. The receptor and ligand are always protonated.
ph number no 7.4 pH for protonation state assignment. NOT CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED — this value is accepted and then ignored; it has no effect on the result. Protonation always runs at pH 7.4. Range 0–14.
n_conformers integer no 1 Number of ligand conformers to sample. Higher values improve results for flexible ligands but increase runtime. NOT CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED — this value is accepted and then ignored; it has no effect on the result. Range 1–10.
placement string no combined Ligand placement strategy. 'combined' is most thorough. NOT CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED — this value is accepted and then ignored; it has no effect on the result. One of combined, directed, tetrahedral.
max_steps integer no 700 Maximum optimization steps per orientation trial. NOT CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED — this value is accepted and then ignored; it has no effect on the result. Range 100–2000.
keep_cofactors string no — Comma-separated cofactor residue names to retain from the receptor (e.g. 'ZN' or 'ZN,NDP'). Leave empty to strip every non-standard residue. Names are PDB chemical-component IDs; no spaces after the commas. Waters are REMOVED when the pocket is cropped - add HOH to keep them, but that keeps every water in the structure, not a chosen one. Metal ions carry their formal charge into scoring; organic cofactors (NADPH, ATP, FAD...) are retained with correct protonation but scored as NEUTRAL, so absolute dG for an anionic cofactor is offset while ranking within one receptor is unaffected.

18. Docking (docking)

Description: Non-covalent docking of small molecules, fragments, or cofactors into a protein binding site.

Category: Structure-Based Drug Design · Submission modes: single, batch, workflow_node

Input Schema

Field Type Required Default Description
structure_file file yes — Protein structure file (PDB or CIF format)
drug_smiles string yes — SMILES string of the ligand or cofactor to dock
chain_id string yes — Chain identifier in the protein structure (e.g., 'A')
binding_site_center string yes — Pocket center in Angstroms, in the coordinate frame of the uploaded structure. This is the ONLY input that steers the docking. The wizard can average binding_site_residues into it for you.
binding_site_residues string no — Pocket residues, as (name, number) pairs. Has NO effect when binding_site_center is set, which is required - it neither steers the docking nor changes the reported pose-to-pocket distance, which is measured from the center. Use it to derive a center: the wizard averages these residues' atoms and fills binding_site_center in. Numbers are as written in the uploaded file (author numbering, not a 1-based index). The match ignores chain, so a number present in several chains averages over all of them; insertion codes cannot be addressed - a residue number matches EVERY residue with that number regardless of insertion code, which matters for Kabat/Chothia-numbered antibodies (H100, H100A...). For an Fv, renumber to IMGT or set binding_site_center directly.
placement_radius number no 8 Radius (Angstroms) of the random placement sphere around the binding site center. NOT CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED — this value is accepted and then ignored; it has no effect on the result. Range 3–20.
n_conformers integer no 3 Number of ligand 3D conformers to generate. NOT CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED — this value is accepted and then ignored; it has no effect on the result. Range 1–20.
n_orientations integer no 8 Number of random orientations per conformer. NOT CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED — this value is accepted and then ignored; it has no effect on the result. Range 1–50.
keep_cofactors string no — Comma-separated cofactor residue names to retain from the receptor (e.g. 'ZN' or 'ZN,NDP'). Leave empty to strip every non-standard residue. Names are PDB chemical-component IDs; no spaces after the commas. Waters are REMOVED when the pocket is cropped - add HOH to keep them, but that keeps every water in the structure, not a chosen one. Metal ions carry their formal charge into scoring; organic cofactors (NADPH, ATP, FAD...) are retained with correct protonation but scored as NEUTRAL, so absolute dG for an anionic cofactor is offset while ranking within one receptor is unaffected. CA is calcium, not the C-alpha atom.
fmax number no 0.5 LBFGS force convergence threshold (eV/Ang). NOT CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED — this value is accepted and then ignored; it has no effect on the result.
max_steps integer no 700 Maximum optimization steps per trial. NOT CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED — this value is accepted and then ignored; it has no effect on the result. Range 100–2000.
use_electrostatics boolean no true Enable Coulomb interactions in classical scoring. NOT CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED — this value is accepted and then ignored; it has no effect on the result. Electrostatics are always on; setting this false does not disable them.
protonate boolean no true Assign ligand protonation state at the target pH. NOT CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED — this value is accepted and then ignored; it has no effect on the result. The receptor and ligand are always protonated.
ph number no 7.4 pH for ligand protonation state assignment. NOT CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED — this value is accepted and then ignored; it has no effect on the result. Protonation always runs at pH 7.4. Range 0–14.
binding_site_residues — one entry
Field Type Required Default Description
resname string yes — Three-letter residue name, e.g. SER
resid integer yes — Residue number as written in the uploaded file

Example Input

{
  "structure_file": "<local path or storage key>",

Input Schema

Field Type Required Default Description
structure_file file yes — Protein structure file (PDB or CIF format)

keep_cofactors string no — Comma-separated cofactor residue names to retain from the receptor (e.g. 'ZN' or 'ZN,NDP'). Leave empty to strip every non-standard residue. Names are PDB chemical-component IDs; no spaces after the commas. Waters are REMOVED when the pocket is cropped - add HOH to keep them, but that keeps every water in the structure, not a chosen one. Metal ions carry their formal charge into scoring; organic cofactors (NADPH, ATP, FAD...) are retained with correct protonation but scored as NEUTRAL, so absolute dG for an anionic cofactor is offset while ranking within one receptor is unaffected.

Category: Structure Generation · Submission modes: single

Input Schema

Field Type Required Default Description

Folded and unfolded legs share feflow.NonEquilibriumCyclingProtocol + Amber14SB + tip3p (with per-ncAA OpenMM XML overlays) and BAR for engine + force-field parity. The unfolded reference is a capped, context-flanked peptide built from the local sequence around the mutation site (default ±3 residues). Sign convention: ΔΔG_fold < 0 ⇔ mutation stabilises the fold.

Category: Free Energy Methods · Submission modes: single

Input Schema

Field Type Required Default Description
protein_pdb file yes — Input protein structure (PDB). Single-chain only in v1; multi-chain ambiguous mutations are rejected.
mutations string no — Comma-separated list of mutations of the form CHAIN:RESID[ICODE]:TARGET. Bracket-wrapped HELM2 monomers also accepted (e.g. "A:78:V,A:78:[Aib],A:78:[dF],A:78:[meS]"). Mutually exclusive with mutant_chain_helm; provide one or the other.
mutant_chain_helm string no — The mutated chain in full (N to C) in HELM2 notation, e.g. PEPTIDE1{A.G.F.K.L}$$$$V2.0. Mutations are inferred by aligning it position-by-position against the chosen PDB chain, so it must be the same length as that chain. Alternative to listing mutations; mutually exclusive with it. Full syntax: https://docs.azulenelabs.com/reference/helm/
mutant_chain_id string no A Chain id in the input PDB that mutant_chain_helm corresponds to. Default A. Ignored when mutations is used directly.
unfolded_flank_size integer no 3 Number of residues to keep on each side of the mutation site when building the unfolded-reference capped peptide from the input PDB. Default 3 ⇒ 7-residue window. 0 collapses to a capped single-residue (Ace-X-NMe) reference. Range 0–10.
unfolded_engine string no feflow Engine for the unfolded leg. 'feflow' (recommended) shares NonEquilibriumCyclingProtocol with the folded leg. 'rfe_legacy' is the original SMILES + RFECalculator path retained one release as an escape hatch. One of feflow, rfe_legacy.

Set 0.1 for the Aldeghi 2019 quantitative protocol. 0 runs minimisation only. (All trajectory timings in ns per stakeholder fix #3.) Minimum 0.
unfolded_relax_implicit_solvent boolean no true If true (default), use OBC2 GBSA implicit solvent for the unfolded relaxation: ~3-10 s per peptide, no pre-solvation complications. False uses TIP3P explicit + Monte-Carlo barostat (Aldeghi 2019 protocol; required for quantitative comparison against published numbers, slower).
unfolded_relax_restrained_nvt_ns number no 0 Backbone-restrained NVT pre-equilibration duration (nanoseconds). Solvent + side chains relax around a harmonically-fixed backbone. Default 0 (skipped); Aldeghi 2019 uses 0.05 ns. Minimum 0.
unfolded_relax_unrestrained_nvt_ns number no 0 Backbone-free NVT pre-equilibration duration (nanoseconds), runs after the restrained-NVT phase. Default 0 (skipped); Aldeghi 2019 uses 0.05 ns. Minimum 0.
mode_preset string no smoke Single-knob preset that overrides several fields. 'smoke' (default) keeps user-supplied values. 'aldeghi_2019_quantitative' overrides equil_length_ns=5.0, n_neq_switches_per_direction=50, neq_switch_length_ns=0.05, protocol_repeats=3, unfolded_flank_size=0 (Ace-X-NMe), unfolded_relax_restrained_nvt_ns=0.05, unfolded_relax_unrestrained_nvt_ns=0.05, unfolded_relax_ns=0.1, unfolded_relax_implicit_solvent=false — the verbatim Aldeghi 2019 / Boresch & Karplus 1998 / feflow-test convention. One of smoke, aldeghi_2019_quantitative.
random_seed integer no 42 Deterministic seed for reproducible re-runs.
equil_length_ns number no 5 Equilibration length per endpoint in nanoseconds. Default 5 ns; 0.005 is a smoke value used for plumbing tests. Minimum 0.005.
n_neq_switches_per_direction integer no 50 Number of non-equilibrium switches per direction (forward + reverse). Default 50 per Aldeghi 2019. Minimum 1.
protocol_repeats integer no 3 Number of independent FEP repeats for uncertainty estimation. Minimum 1.

26. Macrocycle & Cyclic-Peptide affinity scoring (boltz_macrocycle)

Description: Predict how a macrocyclic or stapled peptide binds a protein receptor with Boltz-2. The binder is a peptide chain, not a ligand SMILES — you give its one-letter sequence and declare non-standard residues (modifications) and crosslinks (bonds) on top of it; there is no SMILES input on this tool. Returns the best-scoring diverse poses (default 5), ranked by interface confidence. Combined receptor+binder length is capped at 1500 residues. Also returns an experimental binding-affinity estimate affinity_pkd (higher = tighter): use it to separate strong binders from weak ones, not to rank close analogs of one another.

Input Schema

Field Type Required Default Description
receptor object yes — Target protein chain — JSON object (single chain, not an array). Minimal value: {"sequence": "<one-letter AA string>"}. id defaults to "A", msa.mode defaults to "server". Trim the receptor to the binding domain. Pasting a full-length UniProt sequence is the biggest quality lever on this tool and it fails quietly: a full-length receptor folds far worse than a domain-scoped one on the same target, and the interface you are scoring degrades with it. All three featured examples ship domain slices for that reason.
binder object yes — Macrocyclic / stapled peptide binder — JSON object, expressed as a peptide CHAIN, not a ligand SMILES. Minimal value: {"sequence": "<one-letter AA string>"}. id defaults to "B". Non-standard residues go in modifications; the crosslink itself goes in bonds. The binder MSA is always empty (a designed macrocycle has no homologues to align).
modifications array no — Non-standard residues on the binder, as [{position, ccd}] — 1-based positions into binder.sequence, each replaced by the named PDB chemical component. Leave empty for an all-canonical peptide.
bonds array no — Explicit covalent crosslinks on the binder, as [{kind, atom1: {residue, atom}, atom2: {residue, atom}}]. Residue indices are 1-based into binder.sequence. This is where staples, disulfides, lactams and thioethers go — they are side-chain bridges on a linear backbone, so they belong here and NOT in binder.cyclic. Leave atom empty and the canonical crosslink atom for that kind is used (SG for disulfide, CZ/CJ for the S5/R8 staple olefins).
n_poses integer no 5 Number of diverse representative poses to return (1..20). Default 5. Range 1–20.
n_diffusion_samples integer no 15 Boltz diffusion samples to generate before ranking and clustering (2..50). Default 15. Wall-clock and cost scale roughly linearly with this. Range 2–50.
runtime object no — Runtime knobs. {use_msa_server: bool=true, use_potentials: bool=false, no_kernels: bool=false}. Structures are always returned as PDB.
keep_dirs boolean no true Keep the full prediction outputs so you can download them afterward (recommended). Turn off only if you don't need the raw files.
receptor — one entry
Field Type Required Default Description
sequence string yes — One-letter sequence of the target protein
id string no A Chain label; defaults to A
msa.mode string no server How the receptor MSA is built. One of server, empty, upload.
binder — one entry
Field Type Required Default Description
sequence string yes — One-letter sequence of the peptide binder
id string no B Chain label; defaults to B
cyclic boolean no false HEAD-TO-TAIL BACKBONE CLOSURE ONLY — the peptide's own N-terminus amide-bonded to its own C-terminus. Leave this OFF for stapled, disulfide-bridged, lactam-bridged and thioether peptides: those are side-chain crosslinks on a LINEAR backbone and belong in bonds, not here. Most macrocyclic peptides are not head-to-tail. Setting it wrongly is silent: it changes the residue positional encoding (the model wraps position N back to position 1) without any error, so the pose comes back looking plausible and is wrong.
modifications — one entry
Field Type Required Default Description
position integer yes — 1-based residue index into the binder sequence. Minimum 1.
ccd string yes — PDB chemical-component (CCD) code for the replacement residue. CCD CODES ARE NOT GUESSABLE FROM TRIVIAL NAMES — look the code up in the PDB chemical component dictionary before using it. Two codes that read like the obvious answer and are not: CBA is a pyridoxal-phosphate adduct, NOT cyclobutyl-alanine (that is 2JH); AHX is an AMP conjugate, NOT 6-aminohexanoic acid (that is ACA). A wrong-but-real code is accepted and folded, so the job succeeds with the wrong chemistry.
bonds — one entry
Field Type Required Default Description
kind string no — Chemistry of the crosslink. Sets the default atom names and the bond order. One of staple, disulfide, lactam, thioether, head_to_tail, sidechain.
atom1.residue integer yes — 1-based residue index of the first crosslink partner. Minimum 1.
atom1.atom string no — PDB atom name on residue 1 (e.g. CZ, CJ, SG). Defaults from kind.
atom2.residue integer yes — 1-based residue index of the second crosslink partner. Minimum 1.
atom2.atom string no — PDB atom name on residue 2 (e.g. CZ, CJ, SG). Defaults from kind.

Description: Design new amino-acid sequences that fold to a backbone structure you provide (inverse folding). Upload a structure and get back several candidate sequences, each with confidence scores and how much it recovers the native sequence. Pick the model that fits your goal: ProteinMPNN (general purpose, protein-only inputs), LigandMPNN (when the backbone includes ligands, nucleic acids, or metal ions you want the design to respect), or SolubleMPNN (when you want to improve the solubility of a soluble protein).

Category: Structure Predictions · Submission modes: single

Input Schema

Field Type Required Default Description
mode string yes design Selects this design task. Leave as the default. One of design.
model_type string no protein_mpnn Which model to use: "protein_mpnn" (default, general purpose), "ligand_mpnn" (accounts for ligands, nucleic acids, or metal ions in the structure), or "soluble_mpnn" (biased toward more soluble sequences). One of protein_mpnn, ligand_mpnn, soluble_mpnn.
pdb_file file no — The backbone structure to redesign — upload a PDB or CIF file. This is the main input; provide either this or the advanced pdb field, not both. Accepts .pdb,.cif.
pdb object no — Advanced/API alternative to uploading a file: supply the backbone as {"inline": "<raw PDB text>"} or {"url": "<signed https URL>"}. Most users should upload via pdb_file instead. Provide one or the other, not both.
chains_to_design array no — Which chains to redesign, by chain ID (e.g. ["A"]). Leave empty to redesign every chain.
fixed_positions object no — Positions to keep at their original amino acid, listed per chain. A position that is not in the file is SILENTLY IGNORED - it will not be held fixed and the job still reports success. Residue numbers are as written in the uploaded file (author numbering), not a 1-based count from the start of the chain — the two differ whenever a construct starts at something other than 1 or has gaps.
redesign_positions object no — Positions to redesign, listed per chain, leaving every other position fixed. A position that is not in the file is SILENTLY IGNORED, leaving it fixed instead of redesigned. Residue numbers are as written in the uploaded file (author numbering), not a 1-based count from the start of the chain — the two differ whenever a construct starts at something other than 1 or has gaps. For a given chain, use this or fixed_positions, not both.
bias_aa object no — Nudge the design toward or away from specific amino acids at every designed position. Keys are one-letter amino-acid codes; positive values favour an amino acid, negative values disfavour it.
omit_aa array no — Amino acids to never use at any designed position (e.g. exclude cysteine).
num_seq_per_target integer no 8 How many candidate sequences to design (1 to 1024). Default 8. Range 1–1024.
sampling_temp number no 0.1 How adventurous the design is (0.01 to 2.0). Default 0.1. Lower values stay closer to the most likely, native-like sequence; higher values give more diverse but riskier designs. Range 0.01–2.
batch_size integer no 1 How many sequences are computed together per pass (1 to 128). Default 1. A performance knob that does not change the results. Range 1–128.
seed integer no 37 Random seed. Default 37. Use the same seed to reproduce a run; change it to get a different set of designs. Minimum 0.
checkpoint string no — Advanced: a specific model checkpoint to use instead of the default for the chosen model.
parse_atoms_with_zero_occupancy boolean no false Whether to keep atoms marked with zero occupancy in the input structure. Off by default (they are ignored). Turn on only if your structure stores meaningful atoms at zero occupancy that you want included.
keep_dirs boolean no true Keep the full prediction outputs so you can download them afterward (recommended). Turn off only if you don't need the raw files.

31. ThermoMPNN — Mutation Stability (ΔΔG) (mpnn_stability)

Description: Predict how mutations change a protein's folding stability (ΔΔG, in kcal/mol) from its structure, using ThermoMPNN. Negative values mean the mutation is predicted to stabilize the fold, positive values mean it destabilizes. Either score a specific list of mutations, or scan a stretch of a chain to try every possible amino-acid substitution (site saturation). Use it to find stabilizing mutations or to flag risky ones before testing.

Category: Structure Predictions · Submission modes: single

mutations array no — A specific list of mutations to score. Each entry is {chain, position, from_aa, to_aa}. Residue numbers are as written in the uploaded file (author numbering), not a 1-based count from the start of the chain — the two differ whenever a construct starts at something other than 1 or has gaps. from_aa is checked against the residue actually at that position; a mismatch returns no predictions plus a warning naming what was requested. Use this or saturation, not both.
saturation object no — Scan a region instead of a fixed list: give {chain, start, end} (inclusive) and every possible amino-acid substitution at every position in that window is scored. Residue numbers are as written in the uploaded file (author numbering), not a 1-based count from the start of the chain — the two differ whenever a construct starts at something other than 1 or has gaps. Use this or mutations, not both.
checkpoint string no thermompnn_v1 Advanced: a specific model checkpoint to use instead of the default.
batch_size integer no 256 How many mutations are scored together per pass (1 to 4096). Default 256. A performance knob that does not change the results. Range 1–4096.
keep_dirs boolean no true Keep the full prediction outputs so you can download them afterward (recommended). Turn off only if you don't need the raw files.

32. ESM-2 Sequence Embeddings (esm2_embed)

Description: Turn protein sequences into ESM-2 embeddings — numeric vectors that capture each protein's properties for use in downstream machine learning, similarity search, or clustering. Optionally also predict residue-residue contact maps. Submit one or many sequences in a single run.

Category: Protein Embeddings · Submission modes: single

Input Schema

Field Type Required Default Description
sequences array yes — The protein sequences to embed, as one-letter amino acids — one per line, or paste FASTA. Up to 64 sequences per job, each up to 2048 residues. Embeddings are returned in the order given. A sequence over 1022 residues still runs, but that is the length ESM-2 was trained to attend over and the rest is extrapolated, so the embedding is less reliable and the job says so in its warnings.
labels array no — Optional name for each sequence, one per line, in the same order. Echoed back on the result so you can tell which embedding is which — without it the output is a positional list and FASTA headers are not kept. Give one per sequence or leave it empty; a count that disagrees with the sequences is rejected rather than lined up short.
model_variant string no 650M Model size to run: "650M" (default, gives a 1280-number vector per protein) or "3B" (larger, gives a 2560-number vector for slightly higher quality at higher cost). One of 650M, 3B.
pool string no — How to summarize each protein: "mean" (default, one vector per protein, averaged over residues), "cls" (one vector from the model's summary token), or "none" (a separate vector for every residue, delivered as a downloadable attachment).
return_contacts boolean no — Also predict a residue-residue contact map for each sequence (how likely each pair of residues is to be in contact). Off by default.
fp16 boolean no true Use faster half-precision math on the GPU (default on). Leave on for speed; it has no meaningful effect on the results.

33. ESM-2 Mutation Scoring (Zero-Shot) (esm2_mutation_score)

Description: Score how point mutations affect a protein, with no training data needed. ESM-2 rates each mutant relative to the wild-type sequence: higher scores mean the model finds the mutation more favorable, lower scores less favorable. Use it to quickly rank or pre-screen candidate mutations.

Category: Protein Mutation Scoring · Submission modes: single

Input Schema

Field Type Required Default Description
sequence string yes — The wild-type protein sequence the mutations are measured against (one-letter amino acids, up to 2048 residues). Past 1022 residues it still runs, but that is ESM-2's trained context and positions beyond it are extrapolated, so scores there are less reliable.
mutants array yes — The point mutations to score, as a list written like "M1A" (original amino acid, 1-based position, new amino acid), up to 4096 of them. Each is checked against the wild-type sequence, so out-of-range positions or a wrong original amino acid are rejected.
model_variant string no 650M Model size to run: "650M" (default) or "3B" (larger, for slightly higher quality at higher cost). One of 650M, 3B.
method string no — Scoring method: "masked_marginal" (default, more accurate but slower) or "wt_marginal" (faster but less precise).
fp16 boolean no true Use faster half-precision math on the GPU (default on). Leave on for speed; it has no meaningful effect on the results.

Example Input

{
  "sequence": "MKIEELKKWVEEFDKKLAEIFKFDFGGYRELADKVAEAVGKKVDEKQKKIVEIFEKVEAEA",
  "mutants": [
    "M1A",
    "K2R",

34. ESMFold — Fast Single-Chain Structure Prediction (esmfold_predict)

Description: Predict the 3D structure of a single protein chain straight from its sequence, with no MSA required. ESMFold is fast and a good fit when you have just a sequence and want a quick fold, including for designed or unusual proteins. Returns the structure plus per-residue confidence (pLDDT) and an overall pTM score. Sequences can be up to 1024 residues.

Category: Structure Predictions · Submission modes: single

Input Schema

Field Type Required Default Description
sequence string yes — The protein sequence to fold (one-letter amino acids, up to 1024 residues).
output_format string no — Structure file format to return: "pdb" (default) or "cif" (mmCIF).
chunk_size integer no — Advanced memory knob. Smaller values use less GPU memory but run slower; leave unset to use the model default. Lower this only if a long sequence runs out of memory.
num_recycles integer no — How many refinement passes the model makes (0 to 8). Default 4. More passes can sharpen the structure; designed or unusual sequences may still score low confidence regardless.
keep_dirs boolean no true Keep the full prediction outputs so you can download them afterward (recommended). Turn off only if you don't need the raw files.

Example Input

{
  "sequence": "MQIFVKTLTGKTITLEVEPSDTIENVKAKIQDKEGIPPDQQRLIFAGKQLEDGRTLSDYNIQKESTLHLVLRLRGG",
  "output_format": "pdb",

35. Crystal Structure Prediction (crystal_prediction)

Description: Predict organic crystal structures from a SMILES string or an uploaded molecular geometry. Runs the az_crystals CSP pipeline (CPU orchestrator + GPU fan-out). Provide exactly one of smiles or molecule_filename. Optionally compare against an experimental CIF.

Category: Structure Generation / Sampling · Submission modes: single

Input Schema

Field Type Required Default Description
smiles string no — SMILES string of the molecule. Provide exactly one of smiles or molecule_filename.
molecule_filename file no — Molecular geometry file (.xyz/.cif/.mol/.sdf, any ASE-readable format). Provide exactly one of smiles or molecule_filename.
preset string yes quick Search preset: test (tiny/debug), quick (standard), full (exhaustive CSP). One of test, quick, full.
exp_cif_file file no — Optional experimental CIF; predictions are compared to it (energy/density + geometric RMSD match).
exp_is_lowest_polymorph boolean no false Assert the experimental structure is the most stable polymorph; report whether the matched prediction is the global energy minimum.

Retired job types

Earlier revisions of this document described the ids below. They are not in the live catalog, so submitting one fails before anything runs and no credits are consumed. They are kept here so an old script or notebook has somewhere to land.

Retired ID Why Use instead
mp2 Quantum-chemistry tools were withdrawn from the catalog. —
hartree_fock Quantum-chemistry tools were withdrawn from the catalog. —
ccsd_calculation Quantum-chemistry tools were withdrawn from the catalog. —
xtb_calculation Semi-empirical tool withdrawn from the catalog. —
molecular_dynamics Plain MD was withdrawn; the free-energy tools run their own MD. absolute_binding, relative_binding
relative_binding_uaa Not in the catalog. The unnatural-amino-acid protocol is only exposed for solvation-phase relative free energies. relative_fe_uaa
pocket_docking Commented out of job_definitions.ts and never re-enabled, so it is not submittable, and no tool finds a pocket for you. pdb_file is now structure_file and ligand_smiles is now drug_smiles; chain_id and binding_site_center are required. docking, covalent_docking
upload_file Not a job type. Pass a local path to any file field and the SDK uploads it first, then submits the returned storage key. —
