Fixed Anchor Docking
In this session, we will be showing the tutorial for Fixed Anchor Docking. For this mode of docking, the algorithm would first identify the largest fragment extracted from original ligand input. Noted that, the fragments are segmented based on the rotatable bonds of the ligands. Starting from this fragment pose, the algorithm will use it as an anchor to continuously add segments until the whole original ligand pose has been fully re-grown. Noted that when each fragment is added, it would be oriented for a pose that is energetically minimal. Comparing this method to the previous rigid docking mode, fixed anchor docking offer flexibility to the side chain while still being able to keep the general location of the ligand’s binding site as it fixes the anchor position.
Please navigate to the directory designated for this docking mode: 007.fixed_anchor_docking. Here, we can start create the input parameters, file name – fixed.in:
vi fixed.in
The following is the input parameter for fixed anchor docking. While you can copy and paste this into the body of your script, please make sure to change the input files directory (ligand and protein structure folder) to your personal directory. Also it should be a good practice to make sure the directories for the dock parameters should also be up-to-date.

Now, you are ready to run dock6 implementing the above input parameters:
dock6 -i fixed.in -o fixed.out
Dock6 should be running for a couple of minutes. If the program finished right away, it would be recommended that you should check the output file to see if there are any reported errors. Successful run should give you two additional files as followed:
- fixed.out
- 2tio_fixed_output_scored.mol2
The mol2 file containing the docked ligand could be viewed in ChimeraX under ViewDock. To compare with the reference pose, this mol2 file (blue) has been overlaid on top of the original ligand pose (gold). For this result, it can be seen that although the docking score for the docked ligand is comparable with other docking modes, the RMSD computed for the docked result was larger than 2A, which has been reflected by the pose where the sidechain to the right is shifted further away than in original structure.
The fixed.out file summary the overall docking score of the run:
The steps for the next docking mode should also be similar.
Fixed Anchor Docking
In this session, we will be showing the tutorial for Flexible Docking. Among the three docking methods introduced in this tutorial, this would be the most computationally expensive method since the algorithm will be sampling all of the possible conformations of each input ligand and test their binding ability with the binding site. Thus, one might expect the computing time for this method to be exceed other introduced methods.
Please navigate to the directory designated for this docking mode: 008.flex_docking. Here, we can start create the input parameters, file name – flex.in:
vi flex.in
The following is the input parameter for fixed anchor docking. While you can copy and paste this into the body of your script, please make sure to change the input files directory (ligand and protein structure folder) to your personal directory. Also it should be a good practice to make sure the directories for the dock parameters should also be up-to-date.

Now, you are ready to run dock6 implementing the above input parameters:
dock6 -i flex.in -o flex.out
Dock6 should be running for a couple of minutes. If the program finished right away, it would be recommended that you should check the output file to see if there are any reported errors. Successful run should give you two additional files as followed:
- flex.out
- 2tio_flex.out_scored.mol2
The mol2 file containing the docked ligand could be viewed in ChimeraX under ViewDock. To compare with the reference pose, this mol2 file (blue) has been overlaid on top of the original ligand pose (gold). Under ViewDock in Chimera, it can be observed that the docked ligand showed great structural overlap with the reference pose and this has also been reflected in the reported RMSD score, which has been maintained below 2A.
The fixed.out file summary the overall docking score of the run:
As we have finished running all the docking modes, one step could be carried out here is to compare all the three docked results with the original reference file and see if all the docking results have been suggesting a binding mode that resemble the reference pose. Attached is the overlaid docking results, where we can see the most rigid docking modes give the closest result to the reference structure, whereas fixed anchor docking has the right-side chain shifted further away. Although being the most flexible method, flexible docking gives a good scoring. (gold - original pose, blue - flex, green - rigid, magenta - fixed anchor)
