De Novo Design

As “de novo” means “from the beginning”, the de novo feature in DOCK enables designing of completely new ligands by adding new parts of a ligand for as many layers as the user wants. SAR (structure-activity relationship) study is one approach to find the relationship between the biological activity/binding affinity and the chemicals structure/characteristics of the ligand. De novo takes a similar approach; as DOCK grows different substituents and parts from the anchoring part of the ligand, it calculates the binding score, leading up to the best “combination” of the layers. This feature is especially useful when there is a known part of an existing ligand and a user wants to keep it, while wanting to explore new structures.

In this de novo tutorial we will be using the minimized ligand of 2P16, which was initially generated in the very first virtual screening tutorial. First the anchor has to be determined and prepared from the structure. This process can be done in Chimera. Open up the minimized structure (.mol2), and determine the anchor. Anchor can be determined in any way the user wants; in this tutorial we will keep the side of ligand closer to the active site and erase the rest.


The crystal reference ligand is colored in pink

Red in the anchor fragment and grey in the discarding fragment


The anchor is colored in red, while the rest of the ligand which will be deleted is colored in gray. The benzene ring (in red) will be the anchor, so one atom next to it has to be replaced with a dummy atom. The dummy atom will be the starting point of de novo design. Addition of a dummy atom can be done by editing the .mol2 file. Once you identify the atom number to replace with a dummy atom, replace the atom name with “Du”

In this tutorial, we will be replacing atom number 9. The xyz coordinate and charge of the atom does not need to be changed.

Once you make a change, save and visualize it on Chimera. The dummy atom should be colored in pink.

Anchor with a dummy atom”


Now you have the anchor, so transfer the mol2 file from your local computer to seawulf using scp.

First, just like other docking method, an input file needs to be created.

vi refinement.in

conformer_search_type denovo dn_fraglib_scaffold_file /gpfs/projects/AMS536/zzz.programs/dock6.10/parameters/fraglib_scaffold.mol2 dn_fraglib_linker_file /gpfs/projects/AMS536/zzz.programs/dock6.10/parameters/fraglib_linker.mol2 dn_fraglib_sidechain_file /gpfs/projects/AMS536/zzz.programs/dock6.10/parameters/fraglib_sidechain.mol2 dn_user_specified_anchor yes dn_fraglib_anchor_file 2p16_anchor.mol2 dn_torenv_table /gpfs/projects/AMS536/zzz.programs/dock6.10/parameters/fraglib_torenv.dat dn_name_identifier refine dn_sampling_method graph dn_graph_max_picks 30 dn_graph_breadth 3 dn_graph_depth 2 dn_graph_temperature 100 dn_pruning_conformer_score_cutoff 100 dn_pruning_conformer_score_scaling_factor 2 dn_pruning_clustering_cutoff 100 dn_mol_wt_cutoff_type soft dn_upper_constraint_mol_wt 1000 dn_lower_constraint_mol_wt 0.0 dn_mol_wt_std_dev 35.0 dn_constraint_rot_bon 15 dn_constraint_formal_charge 5 dn_heur_unmatched_num 1 dn_heur_matched_rmsd 2.0 dn_unique_anchors 1 dn_max_grow_layers 1 dn_max_root_size 25 dn_max_layer_size 25 dn_max_current_aps 5 dn_max_scaffolds_per_layer 1 dn_write_checkpoints yes dn_write_prune_dump no dn_write_orients no dn_write_growth_trees no dn_output_prefix output use_internal_energy yes internal_energy_rep_exp 12 internal_energy_cutoff 100.0 use_database_filter no orient_ligand no bump_filter no score_molecules yes contact_score_primary no grid_score_primary yes grid_score_rep_rad_scale 1 grid_score_vdw_scale 1 grid_score_es_scale 1 grid_score_grid_prefix /gpfs/projects/AMS536/2023/students/group_3_jack-abhik-jiyun/JIYCHONG/Tutorial_DOCK_VS/Rigid_dock/grid minimize_ligand yes minimize_anchor no minimize_flexible_growth yes use_advanced_simplex_parameters no simplex_max_cycles 1 simplex_score_converge 0.1 simplex_cycle_converge 1.0 simplex_trans_step 1.0 simplex_rot_step 0.1 simplex_tors_step 10.0 simplex_grow_max_iterations 250 simplex_grow_tors_premin_iterations 0 simplex_random_seed 0 simplex_restraint_min yes simplex_coefficient_restraint 10.0 atom_model all vdw_defn_file /gpfs/projects/AMS536/zzz.programs/dock6.10/parameters/vdw_de_novo.defn flex_defn_file /gpfs/projects/AMS536/zzz.programs/dock6.10/parameters/flex.defn flex_drive_file /gpfs/projects/AMS536/zzz.programs/dock6.10/parameters/flex_drive.tbl

Notice that this input file is pretty different from rigid.in or flex.in; different parameters have to be set for de novo. Additionally, a directory pathway to the DOCK fragment library has to be specified on top of vdw and flex parameter library; there are scaffold, linker, sidechain, and torsion environment library.

Once you made refinement.in file, it can be processed in DOCK.

dock6 -i refinement.in -o refinement.out


Make a new directory to organize the files generated in this tutorial:

mkdir 005.denovo
