Add metal/cofactor handling to the Boltz-2 YAML as CCD ligand entries -
the modes classical docking couldn't model:
- HDAC2 + catalytic Zn (vorinostat chelates it)
- PKR + FBP + Mg (allosteric activator + metal)
- hemoglobin + heme
Same cofactors present when co-folding negatives into a target (fair test).
build_boltz_yaml() gains a cofactor_ccds arg (emits `ligand: {ccd: ...}`
entries); TARGETS carries per-target cofactors; cofold()/main() thread them
through. Verified locally: YAML builds correctly with Zn / FBP+Mg.
Honest limitation noted: Hb's voxelotor site is at the tetramer centre and
covalent (Schiff base), so single-chain+heme only approximates it - HDAC2
(Zn) and PKR (cofactor) are the real co-folding tests. Ready for
`modal run gpu/modal_app.py`.

Reverso MVP — Sickle Cell Repurposing Pipeline
A minimum viable drug repurposing pipeline for sickle cell disease: build a disease signature from public transcriptomic data, build drug profiles for ~300 small molecules, and rank them by CMap-style connectivity scoring. Validated by a recovery test — do the two known sickle cell drugs (hydroxyurea, L-glutamine) rank near the top?
See PLAN.md for the full specification, locked decisions, and week-by-week build plan.
Quickstart
# Requires Python >=3.11,<3.13 (see note below)
pip install -e . # or: pip install -e ".[dev]" for test/lint tooling
pytest # run unit tests
Python version note: use Python 3.11–3.13 (
python3.13 -m venv .venv). Python 3.14 is not yet supported by all pipeline dependencies (pydeseq2,cmapPy).

The deliverable
When complete, the artifact to share is three files:
docs/recovery_test_report.md— the 2-page write-updata/results/ranked_candidates_v1.csv— the ranked drug list- The signature + drug profile files with provenance
