−
In this section, the de novo growth will be done using a fragment library generated by many random ligands. This allows DOCK to generate novel ligands which are not restricted by the fragments and torsion environment of the crystal ligand.
 
−
 
 
−
In the previous section, single grid was used as the scoring function to generate the ligands. In this section, the interactions of the ligand with the most significant residues will be considered for the scoring function. In order to do so, multigrid scoring method where each of the significant residues will be described using unique grids, and a common grid for the rest of the residues.
 
−
 
 
−
===Specifying Primary Residues===

First, the significant residues for the binding of the ligand has to be specified. Create unique directory for the generic de novo growth. Create an input file. (rescore.in) Use the following lines to generate the input file.

If it is successful, 25 residues should be specified as primary residues. (this is just for this system and the number of primary residues can change from system to system)

I. de-novo design with PDB 2P16 (Focused)

This tutorial assumes that you have finished the Virtual Screening of this system (2P16). We are going to used some of the files generated by the VS toturial.

Fragment Libraries

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. 

touch fraglib.in

Generate the fragments by calling the input file through DOCK6 

dock6 -i fraglib.in

Answer the prompted questions interactively using the following lines.

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.

2p16 fragments. Three dummy atoms are colored with pink.

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. 

touch focus.in

Run the input file through dock. 

dock6 -i focus.in

II.de-novo growth with PDB 2P16 (Generic)

Running de novo growth

In this section, a de novo growth will be done using the grids generated above and a provided fragment library where the fragments are generated from random drug like ligands provided in the dock6 distribution in the parameters directory.

Go one directory back from multigrid and create a new directory, denovo. Copy the neccesary fragment library files needed into this directory. (scaffold,linker,sidechain,torsion env ..etc) Then create an input file for denovo growth using the lines below.
