Could anyone tell me if Autodock3.0 can reckon iron in ?
The receptor active site concerned includes an iron ,one of putative ways to inhibit the enzyme is that inhibitors may replace a residue ligand to the iron,which gives a complete loss of iron and hence the loss of enzyme activity. Thus I think the interaction between iron and inhibitors can not be ignored.
If can not,which program may do this kind of docking?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
