How to Create a tgz File for Batch Inputs

Protein-mpnn and radius-of-gyration optionally take a collection of compressed and zipped PDB files as input for a batch submission. In a batch submission, a single command will run either protein-mpnn or radius-of-gyration on all of the specified files.

Create a tarball (tgz) of PDB files from an RFDiffusion output

First, move into the directory containing the RFDiffusion outputs using cd (change directory command). This is important to ensure that you don’t overwrite files with duplicate names.

cd rf-diffusion-jobID/out

Then, use the tar archiving command to compress and zip the PDB files. The flags -czvf will create (c), name (f), zip (z), and enable verbose output (v) of your tarball.

tar -czvf input.tgz *.pdb
