2020 Denovo tutorial 4 with PDBID 6UZW
This part is a continuous toturial following the virtual screening of choosed system ([1]). All the files generated in Virtual Screen session are share with De novo session.

I. Focused De Novo Design
In this part, we will generate the same ligand present in the structure by connecting fragment from scratch. By putting the generated "ligand" back into the pocket, one could check how our simulation works in terms of the protein they interested in.
Fragment Librarie
A focused fragment library will be generate, based on original ligand molecule, in order to building the same ligand in a atomic structure.
Create a new directory for the fragment library.
mkdir 10_dn_fraglib
Create a new input file for fragment generation.
touch fragment.in
Complete the input file by answering default questions from dock and run it by calling the input file through DOCK6

Once fragment generation is completed, six files will be generated. (fraglib_linker.mol2, fraglib_rigid.mol2, fraglib_scaffold.mol2, fraglib_sidechain.mol2, fraglib_torenv.dat, fragment.out_scored.mol2)
By type the following command or open the mol2 file in Chimera, one can check the number of fragments generated and see how they match with the original structure file.
grep -wc MOLECULE *.mol2
Focused Denovo Growth
We will run de novo dock using fragments generated before. The fragments will connected with each other one by one with constrains such as charge and molecular weight. DOCK program will make sure the connection is reasonable before adding any single fragment.
Create a new directory for focused denovo dock.
mkdir 11_dn_focus
Create a new input file.
