I. Focused De Novo Design with PDB 4F4P

This tutorial assumes that you have finished the virtual screening of this system ([1]). We are going to used some of the files generated by the VS toturial.

Fragment Librarie

A focused fragment library will be used in this tutorial, in order to attempt building the same ligand. A focused fragment library can be generated using the same ligand.

Create a new directory for the fragment library.

mkdir fraglib

Inside the fraglib directory create a new input file for fragment generation.

vi fraglib.in

Generate the fragments by calling the input file through DOCK6

dock6 -i fraglib.in -o fradlib.out

Once fragment generation is completed, following files will be generated. (fraglib_linker.mol2, fraglib_rigid.mol2, fraglib_scaffold.mol2, fraglib_sidechain.mol2, fraglib_torenv.dat) You can use the following commands to check the number of fragments in each file.

grep -wc MOLECULE *.mol2

You can also open the mol2 files using chimera and check if the fragments match with the ligand used for fragment generation.

Focused Denovo Growth

The generated fragments will be used to perform the de novo dock. Here the fragments will added together restricted by different properties like maximum layers, formal charge and molecular weight. Before each connection, DOCK will check with the torsion environment file created in frgment generation to see if that particular connection is seen before. If not the connection won't be made.

Create a new directory for focused library denovo dock.

mkdir focus
cd focus

Create a new input file.

vi focus.in

Run the input file through dock.

dock6 -i focus.in -o focus.out
