Description

Dear OpenFE team.
Thanks for this awesome work.
This is related to https://github.com/OpenFreeEnergy/openfe/issues/633 https://github.com/OpenFreeEnergy/openfe/issues/634 and https://github.com/OpenFreeEnergy/openfe/issues/636
I would like to start with a protein-peptide co-crystal structure and modify the peptide by

  1. doing amino acid mutations
  2. adding small groups like methyl, acetyl etc.

Are there any special instructions for doing such calculations or should I treat my peptide as a small molecule and follow the lysozyme-benzene tutorial?
I would be really grateful for any suggestions.
Best,
Amin.

Research direction

Start by reading issues 633, 634, and 636, then review the lysozyme-benzene tutorial mentioned in the question. Determine whether protein-peptide mutations and small-group additions need dedicated instructions or can follow the small-molecule workflow; done means documenting a clear supported workflow.
