Files Needed
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) Open the mol2 files using chimera and check if the fragments match with the ligand used for fragment generation.
