Not sure this is interesting to you.

Hi, thank you for adding the interface. Initially, I have two requests: 1. Could you give a short description in the PR, what the interfaced software does? 2. Via a quick search I found out that this is a proprietary program. This is not a problem in general, but renders automatic testing in the CI pipeline difficult. Is there an open source version of the software?

  1. It introduces a mutation to a protein a generates a structure for it. Its part of larger suite which prepares mutated proteins for MD simulations 2. Indeed its proprietary, but so is vina which also has an interface. I would like to know open-source version of this as well. A similar functionality is contained in proprietary version of pymol. I was not sure if this is something interesting to this community. Anyway I like your package. Let me know if I should finish this.

Basically every interface for publicly available and well documented software that works on sequence or structure data is interesting for biotite.application. I will have a look on your PR and prepare a review.

Regarding your questions on open-source versions of AutoDock Vina and PyMOL: To my knowledge Vina is exclusively open source (https://vina.scripps.edu/license/), while for PyMOL only a basic version (without officially built binaries) is open-source (https://github.com/schrodinger/pymol-open-source/blob/master/LICENSE).
