Re: CCL:Is Auotdock self sufficient?
Hi Desai,
AutoDock has almost all software to make docking, with exception :
1. To visualize the structures in PDB (the results)
2.To create PDBQ file for ligand and macromolecule (add charges to PDB format).
Of course, here we need some force field to calculate charges .......
The latest thing make the most inconvenience to prepare jobs ... And 'addsol'
crashes while converting PDBQ to PDBQS file. Here I've wrote my own win32
application.
I don't know about DOCK, but AutoDock have rised some doubts about flexible
docking. If anybody has the experience of flexible docking with AotoDock 3.0, it
would be nice if one could share his/her comments about that . :)
have a good day
