Expanding the oligo melting temperature calculations #237
Comments
@BjornFJohansson @hiyama341 , it would be great if you could provide:

Nearest Neighbor Method explained: https://youtu.be/0iRg2P7KzHo |
Minimal example extracted from teemi. The results are identical to the web interface.

I had settings for Biopython's MeltingTemp to simulate Q5 and Phusion Tm calculations on the NEB website some time ago (at that time, calculations for Q5 and Phusion gave different results), but obviously they changed some settings in their calculator. |
Yes, I get wildly different results right now. I would like to mimic the behaviour of the NEB calculator, the source code is not easy to follow though. |
As per the 4th Pydna meeting, it was generally agreed that Pydna and tools that depend on it would benefit from being able to simulate modern commercial Tm calculators offline.
I have compiled data around this here
The NEB.ipynb notebook contain attempts to replicate the NEB Tm calculator simply by selecting parameters in the biopython Tm module. This was successful for the standard Taq polymerase with the buffer composition stated by NEB.
I was not able to guess the result for the Q5 polymerase. A contributing factor is the secrecy of the buffer composition.
The NEB logics seems contained in the file
NEB/NEB_website/NEB Tm Calculator_files/main-3d92a74abb.js
I formatted the code with an online js formatter in the file
main-3d92a74abb_formatted.js
.The variables below seem important, but I was not able to follow the logics.

Some other people have worked on similar issues here and here
I think this is worth spending some time, since interestingly, the Thermofisher Tm calculator here gives similar, but not identical results and claims to use similar but not identical thermodynamic data.
