The preparation step.

The running step.

The analyzing step.

The residue interaction histogram.

This plugin enables virtual screening with the AutoDock Vina software stack. It uses Meeko and Scrubber to prepare molecular ligands, and PLIP and Matplotlib to analyze the results.

It was tested on PyMOL 3.1 with Python 3.10. Currently supports only Linux and probably Mac.

Input

Supports only multi-smi SMILES files (e.g. mols.smi). Make sure to store your chemical libraries so it can be reused.

Guided interface

• Preparing step: While on the preparation step, should fill the target receptor and box center selections like presented on picture. Shold also fill the the input file and output folder. The flexible selection is optional.
• Running step: Follow the graphical interface to go over this step.
• Analyzing step: View screening results.
  • PLIP: Check the molecular generated interaction poses.
  • Histogram: Check the most interacting residues within the chemical library.

Caveats

It requires internet access on plugin installation and may take time with PyMOL freezed. Docking is as fast as base programs, but PLIP and histogram analyses are slow.
