ConstrainedDocking

Bases: Execution, SyncExecutableMixin, AsyncExecutableMixin, NotebookWatchMixin

Harmonic constrained docking via deeporigin.constrained-docking.

Dock test ligands using harmonic constraints derived server-side from a reference ligand pose via MCS alignment. Callers supply reference_ligand (scaffold identity) and reference_pose (3D coordinates); the platform derives per-atom constraints for each test ligand.

:meth:run sets inputs.sync=true for exactly one test ligand (blocking). :meth:start sets inputs.sync=false for two or more test ligands (async workflow). Track async jobs with .sync(), .wait(), or await watch().

Methods:

cancel
cancel() -> None

Cancel a running or queued execution.

Raises:

Type Description
ValueError

If the job has no execution ID.

ValueError

If the job is not in a cancellable state.

confirm
confirm() -> None

Confirm a quoted tools execution on the platform.

Requires :attr:id and status equal to "Quoted". Uses :meth:~deeporigin.platform.executions.Executions.confirm with :data:~deeporigin.utils.constants.TOOL_EXECUTION_POST_TIMEOUT_SECONDS (10 minutes) and retry=False, then applies the returned DTO via :meth:update_from_dto so status, :attr:cost, and :attr:dto reflect the platform response. For direct (blocking) tools the response is typically terminal (Completed); for async tools it may be Created or Running — call :meth:sync until the job finishes.

Raises:

Type Description
ValueError

If there is no platform execution id or status is not "Quoted".

duplicate
duplicate(
    *, client: DeepOriginClient | None = None
) -> Self

Create a fresh copy with the same configuration but no execution state.

Useful after from_id() to re-run the same calculation. The returned instance has no id, status, estimate, or cost — it is ready for run() / start().

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
client DeepOriginClient | None

Optional API client for the new instance. Falls back to the current instance's client.

None

Returns:

Type Description
Self

A new instance sharing the same domain-specific configuration.

from_dto classmethod
from_dto(
    dto: dict, *, client: DeepOriginClient | None = None
) -> Self

Construct a ConstrainedDocking instance from an execution DTO.

from_id classmethod
from_id(
    id: str, *, client: DeepOriginClient | None = None
) -> Self

Construct an instance from an existing platform execution ID.

Fetches the execution DTO via client.executions.get and delegates to :meth:from_dto. Concrete subclasses override :meth:from_dto to attach domain state from userInputs.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
id str

Platform execution ID.

required
client DeepOriginClient | None

Optional API client. Uses the default if not provided.

None

Returns:

Type Description
Self

A partially-hydrated instance with common fields populated.

Raises:

Type Description
NotImplementedError

If cls has no tool_key (bare :class:Execution).

from_last_run classmethod
from_last_run(
    *, client: DeepOriginClient | None = None
) -> Self

Construct an instance from the most recently created execution of this tool.

Calls client.executions.list with tool_key, order set to :data:~deeporigin.utils.constants.EXECUTION_LIST_ORDER_CREATED_DESC, and page_size=1, then delegates to :meth:from_dto. Concrete subclasses inherit this method; domain state is restored via their from_dto overrides.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
client DeepOriginClient | None

Optional API client. Uses the default if not provided.

None

Returns:

Type Description
Self

A partially-hydrated instance for the newest execution by

Self

createdAt.

Raises:

Type Description
NotImplementedError

If cls has no tool_key (bare :class:Execution).

ValueError

If no executions exist for this tool type.

get_poses
get_poses(*, all_poses: bool = False) -> LigandSet

Download pose SDFs from the platform and return a LigandSet.

get_reference_pose
get_reference_pose(
    dto: dict[str, Any] | None = None,
) -> Ligand

Load the reference pose reported by this execution.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
dto dict[str, Any] | None

Optional execution payload to avoid an extra GET.

None

Returns:

Type Description

get_results
get_results(
    dto: dict[str, Any] | None = None,
    *,
    all_poses: bool = False
) -> LigandSet

Load docked poses for this execution from the data platform or jobOutputs.

get_user_logs
get_user_logs(
    *,
    limit: int | None = None,
    offset: int | None = None,
    select: list[str] | None = None,
    with_total_count: bool = False
) -> DataFrame | None

Search data-platform user_logs rows for this execution.

Uses :meth:deeporigin.platform.user_logs.UserLogs.search with this execution's id (tools executionId), stored as execution_id on user_logs rows — the same string passed to :meth:get_results as compute_job_id.

When no execution id is assigned yet, returns None without calling the API.

Parameters:

DataFrame | None

and message. tool_key omits the deeporigin. prefix;

DataFrame | None

timestamp is a compact humanized relative time. Returns None

DataFrame | None

if this instance has no execution id yet or the client has no

DataFrame | None

user_logs API.

list classmethod
list(

Optional docked pose(s) to overlay with the search box. Accepts a single :class:Ligand, a :class:LigandSet, or a list of ligands.

None

Returns:

Type Description

Result of :func:~deeporigin.utils.notebook.render_html for the Mol*

viewer (None after Jupyter display, or a marimo mo.Html wrapper).

Raises:

Type Description
DeepOriginException

If the protein structure cannot be loaded locally.

ValueError

If poses is an empty collection.

start
start(
    *,
    quote: bool = False,
    approve_amount: int | None = None,
    **kwargs: Any
) -> None

Submit a persisted async execution.

Requires at least two test ligands unless quote=True (cost estimate only), in which case a single test ligand is allowed.

For a single-ligand docking run, use :meth:run instead.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
quote bool

Shorthand for approve_amount=0.

False
approve_amount int | None

Spend cap forwarded to the platform.

None
**kwargs Any

Forwarded to _start_impl.

{}
stop_watching
stop_watching() -> None

Cancel an in-flight watch loop if one is running.

Safe to call when no watch is active. Does not cancel the caller's current task when invoked from inside the watch loop.

sync
sync() -> None

Fetch the latest tools execution from the platform and refresh fields.

Calls client.executions.get for :attr:id and applies the response with :meth:update_from_dto. Use when the job may have changed outside this process (for example after submission from the web UI), to poll lifecycle state, or to refresh an instance built from an older DTO. Available on sync-only and async execution types alike.

If executions.get returns a falsy value, this instance is left unchanged.

Raises:

Type Description
ValueError

If this instance has no execution id yet.

NotImplementedError

If type(self).tool_key is empty (bare :class:Execution).

ValueError

If the returned DTO tool.key does not match this class (see :meth:update_from_dto).

update_from_dto
update_from_dto(dto: dict[str, Any]) -> None

Apply tools execution fields from dto onto this instance.

Updates id, pricing, lifecycle fields, and _dto the same way as :meth:from_dto for a newly created instance. Use after a live executions.create / sync() response to refresh state without constructing a new object (domain inputs on self are unchanged).

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
dto dict[str, Any]

Execution payload (same shape as client.executions.get).

required

Raises:

Type Description
NotImplementedError

If type(self) has no tool_key (bare :class:Execution).

ValueError

If the DTO tool.key does not match tool_key.

wait
wait(
    *,
    poll_interval: float = 5.0,
    timeout: float | None = None
) -> dict[str, Any] | None

Block until this execution reaches a terminal state.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
poll_interval float

Seconds to sleep between polling cycles.

5.0
timeout float | None

Maximum total seconds to wait. If None, waits indefinitely.

None

Returns:

Type Description
dict[str, Any] | None

The latest execution DTO, or None if the platform returned no DTO.

Raises:

Type Description
ValueError

If this instance has no execution id yet.

TimeoutError

If timeout elapses before the execution terminates.

watch async
watch(
    *, interval: float = 5.0, blocking: bool = False
) -> Task | None

Start live notebook updates; optionally block until the job finishes.

By default, awaiting this coroutine finishes in one event-loop turn, so the cell returns while the display keeps updating in the background. Use this when you need to run other cells while the job runs::

task = await abfe.watch()

Set blocking=True or export JOB_WATCH_BLOCK=1 (truthy values: 1, true, yes, on) to run the poll loop inline so the cell does not return until a terminal state — useful for nbconvert --execute and doc CI (see :data:~deeporigin.utils.constants.JOB_WATCH_BLOCK_ENV)::

await abfe.watch(blocking=True)
# or: export JOB_WATCH_BLOCK=1

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
interval float

Seconds between polls.

5.0
blocking bool

When True, await the watch loop instead of returning a background task. Also blocks when JOB_WATCH_BLOCK is truthy.

False

Returns:

Type Description
Task | None

The background task when not blocking; None when blocking.

Task | None

Cancel a background watch with :meth:stop_watching or task.cancel().
