Description

This plugin should help to set up docking runs with Autodock and view docking results. It has two features:

1. Setup of a docking grid for Autodock with PyMOL.
2. View the docking results.

Installation

Linux

This plugin is ready "out-of-box" for Linux users through the project Pymol-script-repo

Windows

you can download it manually

1. Download plugin
2. PyMOL > Plugin > Install Plugin

Important

1. The Autodock tools, does not like funny atoms names like "C1, N13, O28" and so on. Rename them! See example 1.
2. Ligands can not be in alternative configuration. Create by: create ROC_A, 1HXB and resn ROC and alt a . See example 2.

Example 1 - Rename of funny atom names

Read about the protein here: http://www.proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/3ig7
The example of video http://wwwuser.gwdg.de/~dseelig/plugin_tutorial.html
Note, that the module "prepare_ligand4.py" does not like funny names of atoms, so we have to rename them

Open the Autodock/Vina plugin. Set executable to folders:

Autodock Tools:       /home/you/another/pymol/Pymol-script-repo/modules/AutoDockTools/Utilities24
autogrid4 executable: /home/you/another/pymol/Pymol-script-repo/modules/autodock_42/autogrid4
autogrid4 executable: /home/you/another/pymol/Pymol-script-repo/modules/autodock_42/autodock4
vina executable:      /home/you/another/pymol/Pymol-script-repo/modules/autodock_vina/vina
Working Directory:    /home/you/another/pymol/workingdir

Enlarge the window and click Save Plugin Configuration file.

Click tab Grid settings. In Calculate Grid Center by Selection, write EFP.
Try clicking Wired Box in top right, and then Show Box, Hide Box, Cylindric Box, Show Box.
Then push Select binding site. In PyMOL, write

show sticks, binding_site
cmd.disable("binding_site")
hide sticks, binding_site

Click tab Receptor. Mark cdk, and click Generate Receptor.
Click cdk2 to the "right", and see where the files are located.
Click tab Ligands. Mark EFP, and click EFP in the Ligand list. Here is the files stored. Click Generate Ligand
Click tab Docking, and click Run Vina. Wait 3-5 minutes, until Writing output ... done.
Click tab View poses, Browse to EFP.docked.pdbqt. Click Load, Show best 10. Experiment with "Display options, and click the candidates"
Congratulations, you did it!
