===Fragment Libraries===
 +
 +
We will use a focused fragment library file based on the original ligand. To begin, we will create a new directory for this.
 +
 +
mkdir fraglib
 +
 +
Create a new file called '''fragment.in''' with the following inputs.
 +
 +
conformer_search_type                                        flex
 +
write_fragment_libraries                                    yes
 +

 +
internal_energy_cutoff                                      100.0
 +
ligand_atom_file                                            ../001_structure/1s19_ligand_dockprep.mol2

 +
rank_ligands                                                no
 +
 +
To run this, type:
 +
 +
dock6 -i fragment.in -o fragment.out
 +
 +
Once this has ran, the following files should have been generated:
 +
'''fraglib_linker.mol2, fraglib_rigid.mol2, fraglib_scaffold.mol2, fraglib_sidechain.mol2, fraglib_torenv.dat'''. To check the number of fragments in each file, you can type:
 +
 +
grep -wc MOLECULE *.mol2
 +
 +
You should get the following output upon using this command:
 +
 +
fraglib_linker.mol2:4
 +
fraglib_rigid.mol2:0
 +
fraglib_scaffold.mol2:2
 +
fraglib_sidechain.mol2:2
 +
fragment.out_scored.mol2:0
 +
 +
 +
These fragments can also be visualized in Chimera. The results are shown below.
 +

We will be using the fragments that we have generated for the denovo dock. The different fragments will be connected together using restraints such as molecular weight and formal charges. DOCK will check the torsion environment file that was created in the fragment generation section to ensure reasonable connections are being made.
 +
 +
To begin, we will make a new directory and call it denovo_focus
 +
 +
mkdir dn_focus
 +
 +

Now that all of the ligands have been generated in silico, we will want to rescore them based on their binding properties to predict which ones would be the best binders in vitro.
 +
 +
First, create a new directory and dock6 input file:
 +
 +
mkdir 12.dn_focus_rescore
 +
touch dn_rescore.in
 +
 +
Define parameters in the dn_rescore.in file as follows and submit the job:

If we look at our output file gn_denovo.out, we see that 60285 molecules were processed in 2478 seconds using SLURM. You can visualize these molecules  and their corresponding binding interactions using ViewDock in Chimera as before.

Latest revision as of 15:24, 15 March 2021

This tutorial continues where we left off from the virtual screening of 1S19, a structure of the vitamin D nuclear receptor bound to the side chain analogue calcipotriol.

Focused Denovo Design with PDB 1S19

In this section, we will generate new ligand structures using a fragment library. It will require the use of some of the output files from the Virtual Screen tutorial (found here).

Fragment Libraries

We will use a focused fragment library file based on the original ligand. To begin, we will create a new directory for this. 

mkdir fraglib

Create a new file called fragment.in with the following inputs. 

conformer_search_type                                        flex

rank_ligands                                                 no

To run this, type: 

dock6 -i fragment.in -o fragment.out

Once this has ran, the following files should have been generated: fraglib_linker.mol2, fraglib_rigid.mol2, fraglib_scaffold.mol2, fraglib_sidechain.mol2, fraglib_torenv.dat. To check the number of fragments in each file, you can type: 

grep -wc MOLECULE *.mol2

You should get the following output upon using this command: 

fraglib_linker.mol2:4
fraglib_rigid.mol2:0
fraglib_scaffold.mol2:2
fraglib_sidechain.mol2:2
fragment.out_scored.mol2:0


These fragments can also be visualized in Chimera. The results are shown below.

2p16 fragments. The left image is the side chain fragments, the center are the scaffold fragments and the right image is the linker fragment.

Focused Denovo Growth

We will be using the fragments that we have generated for the denovo dock. The different fragments will be connected together using restraints such as molecular weight and formal charges. DOCK will check the torsion environment file that was created in the fragment generation section to ensure reasonable connections are being made.

To begin, we will make a new directory and call it denovo_focus 

mkdir dn_focus

Create a file called focus.in and copy the following script into the file.

Focused Denovo Rescore

Now that all of the ligands have been generated in silico, we will want to rescore them based on their binding properties to predict which ones would be the best binders in vitro.

First, create a new directory and dock6 input file: 

mkdir 12.dn_focus_rescore
touch dn_rescore.in

Define parameters in the dn_rescore.in file as follows and submit the job:

Generic Denovo Design with PDB 1S19

With focused docking, we only used fragments from the original ligand. With generic docking, we instead using a library of fragments and linkers to make new ligands. We will use the following input:

touch gn_denovo.in
dock6 -i gn_denovo.in
