This tutorial contains a step by step approach to dock a known ligand to a known receptor.

I. Introduction

DOCK

DOCK is a molecular docking software that was originally developed at UCSF by Dr. Irwin Kuntz, Dr. Brian Shoicket, and colleagues. DOCK is used in drug discovery and molecular modeling. It consists of 2 main components: a search algorithm to explore chemical space for conformations and a scoring function to rank the results.

2BXF

The tutorial will be based on the PDB file 2BXF downloaded from the PDB Database. 2BXF is the crystal structure for human serum albumin complexed with diazepam.

Organization of Directories

We set up the files in our project space as such. It will be helpful to have these folders ready ahead of time.
