Enzyme crystal structures lack hydrogens and usually contain inhibitors.
Due
to the size of the crystal structures computing at a high level of theory with
different substrates is not feasible. It is our hope to be able to compute
fragments of the active site at high level of theory and combine them to a
realistic model. Is there a program which allows overlaying computed
geometries and experimental crystal structures using least squares fitting?
Any advice on how to compare computed with experimental to ensure maximum
overlap of the combined optimized fragments to the entire crystal. Is there a
way to ensure the orientation of the fragments as they would be in the crystal?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
