Can anyone give clear explanation add parameters for it to the parameter library first for auto dock. Because Ni atom is not in the library it seems? Step by step instruction.
Hello
I need to perform a docking between some metal ions and a protein, in order to study the stability of that protein before and after the metalation. Which software can be used to achieve that result? I have Vina Autodock and MOE. The last one, with which I'm more familiar, let me dock small ligands like drugs to the protein but not metals, is that normal? It doesn't recognise the metal ion as ligand.
Thank you very much
Hi guys, I'm stuck on my research, can someone help me to explain how to dock the ligand with a cofactor NADPH using autodocktools ?
Is there a way to calculate the docking score of the zinc bound to this amyloid protein https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1ze9 without undergoing the docking procedure which is apparently not possible with MOE when the ligand is a single atom? I've heard that MetalDock can dock metal ions but the only thing I'm interested in is calculating the docking score of the zinc
I did two different protein-protein dockings for my bioinformatics project. First, I used the ClusPro blind docking method and then I tried the HADDOCK server where I needed to input a set of active residues for my input protein.
So, to perform the protein-protein docking with HADDOCK, I used the information from the docking results output by ClusPro and identified the residues that interacted between the docked complex using the Prodigy server. Using the interacting residues between the docked complex from ClusPro, I obtained a negative HADDOCK score and Z-score. However, I feel that the docking results from HADDOCK can be considered as false positive as I used the interacting residues from the CluPro docking results.
So, to avoid this I decided to search the active residues related to my designed vaccine construct based on previous literature reviews, but only managed to identify a few active residues to be input for the docking (9 out of 558 residues). As for the results of the docking, I got a positive HADDOCK score with a negative Z-score. I also checked the binding affinity using Prodigy and got a negative score. I was wondering if the positive HADDOCK score was affected due to the limited information given for the active residues during the docking.
If so, are there any suggestions on how should I improve my docking to get negative HADDOCK scores? Thank you in advance.
I need to select 3 best results from the list of the 17 antiviral drugs. How do I select that?
I'm docking an enzyme by using maestro, there is an metal locate at the docking active site, I have already tried a few methods but there are still show the metal is interact with ligands in glide result.
while trying to generate CGenFF topology for Ligand after extracting from docked file, i got error which i'm showing as a picture. What could be the possible reason and how will i rectify it for smooth running of MD simulation.
Hi, guys. I started doing some dockings a few days ago and there was an constantly error showing up on the autodocktools cmd:
"swig/python detected a memory leak of type 'BHtree *', no destructor found." (PFA a printscreen of the error).
The error kept showing up after every command i gave. For example, after every missing atom added it showed up again. I didn't mind at first, because everything was working just fine, even though I was wondering if my results would be realiable with such an error.
But now, there is another error showing up on the autodock (You can also find a printscreen attached), and i can't dock anything anymore. I have already tried reinstalling autodock and MGLtools.
Has anyone had this same errors? Would you know how can I solve it? Just making clear that I'm not familiar with programming.
Thank you so much!
Aside from defining the disulfide bond, what other reasons could account for the significant difference in RMSD of the docked structure and co-crystal?
I have a glycosylated protein and i want to dock it to another protein through the glycans not the amino acids. I have tried HADDOCK but the glycans were broken from each other and from the protein.
Are there specific webservers for docking of glycosylated protein to another protein through the glycan molecules?
If so, do the input ligands need to be protonated with SMILES strings?
This is occurring after uploading the pdb file of docked protein ligand complex from auto dock.
The molecule is a copper complex and there are 3 such molecules in the CIF file
When we use software such as autodock and chimera, the scores are around -7, -10, -12 kj. The Moldock scores are very high numerically around -100, -150. My question is; Can a conversion be made between these two units? My other question is, the lower the energy score, the further away from zero, does it indicate a more effective bonding? For example, -12 is a much better binding than -7. My last question is: We can see RMSD values when docking operation using Molegro virtual docking software, right?
Hello there!
I am trying to dock ZIF-8 (MOF) with the drug doxorubicin using PyRx and discovery studio for visualization of results. My queries are:
1. When I convert .cif file to .pdb using openbabel, then the whole structure of MOF is deleted except few bonds. But, when I use discovery studio for this purpose, then it slightly changes its structure. (any better suggestion?)
2. Since, ZIF-8 is considered as a macromolecule as compared to the drug (doxorubicin). When I load the molecule on PyRx, split models are generated. From there, I am confused how to convert them to .pdbqt format? If I convert them 1 by 1 to .pdbqt, then I won't be able to select all the .pdbqt at the time of docking.
Kindly help me through this!

Hi, is it possible to remove attached ligand from the PDB protein file and save it, to open for docking in Autodock?
I just perform docking several compound and it has broad polarity to alphaglucosidase (3L4W) using GOLD dosking and DOCK6. However the result of longchain lipid is tend to be better compared to miglitol and or acarbose. I guess it is because of non polar interaction, however, the non-polar lipid chain is impossible to fit to alpha-glucosidase, anyone can help me with this case? Thank you
I mean what kind of book or software can you advise?. Thank you beforehand.
I had taken two receptors related to anti hypertensive activity and docked 25 ligands with them. Conceptual DFT,MD simulation, ADMET and trajectory analysis also done. Can It be published and in where?
Hi all,
I am trying docking protein-protein interaction. Is it necessary that i should remove heteroatoms from the protein structure, since its making main bonds between the amino acids?pls let me know.
Its ending up with the results like non-resideus ACE, clean the structure and apply charmpolar force.
Hi, I am running blind docking and its my first time using Autodock. I have been following a tutorial and going step by step but I have now come across this issue and I cannot seem to understand why it keeps recurring. If anyone could help me figure this out that would be very much appreciated!
Thank you in advance.
Hi all,
I am new to computational field. currently, am working in protein-protein interaction. Is it necessary that we have to apply forcefield before docking and once i am applying forcefield, i am seeing the following error,
After navigating to the simulation tab, I proceeded to choose the Forcefield option. Then, I clicked on Charmm27 and applied the selected forcefield. "The following residues do not have a template: A:ACE0, A:HYP2, A:HYP5, A:HYP8, A:HYP23, A:HYP26, A:HYP29, B:HYP2, B:HYP5, B:HYP8, B:HYP23, B:HYP26, B:HYP29, C:ACE0, C:HYP2, C:HYP5, C:HYP8, C:HYP23, C:HYP26, C:HYP29."
Kindly suggest me to rectify this.

I am running docking by using Autodock 4.2 software. However, I am not able to run autodock at the final stage and this type of command error appears in the terminal,
Unknown ligand atom type "atotypin"; add parameters for it to the parameter library first!
Autodock 4.2 runs without errors for similar ligands but this error is seen with ligands having Br and Cl groups.
I edited the autodock parameters tool, But still I faced current problem
I performed virtual screening of some molecules in Auto Dock Vina and GOLD and obtained different results for the best ligand. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, or the docking program is not the most appropriate for my protein and ligands, or the difference is due to the different interaction analysis algorithm.
The protein does not have a co-crystallized ligand, so I did not validate the program by redocking. I'm following the active site predicted by COACH-D. I don't know if this is relevant when comparing results from two different programs.
Hello all,

Hi everyone, I am using Autodock and I'm fairly new and unskilled in it. I was performing a protein-ligand dock. I prepared the protein and ligand, saved them in pdbqt, prepared the gpf file and set the autogrind.exe and parameter file for running autogrid. But when I click on launch, it doesnt generate the glg and map files.
I'm not sure if this is of context but when I choose my ligand to set map types, it shows me a warning and a python shell errow, both of which I have attached below,
What should I do? Can anyone help me?
Dear Researchers kindly suggest a molecular docking online free web server that does not involve protein + ligand but it should be for ligand + receptor. For example: patch dock web server. Thanks in advance
Hello I'm an engineer new to structural biology and helping to develop a cloud docking tool for screening compounds, similar to Swissdock but with mass throughput and GPU optimizations.
Specifically we're helping researchers repurpose existing drugs against protein structures simulated from the novel coronavirus genome.
I'm planning to use GPU optimized AutoDock-GPU , which takes in <protein>.maps.fld
I know you can use autogrid to select the bounding box and generate the .maps.fld, but I've been unable to figure out the workflow.
Also for preliminary screening I want to search the whole protein without specifying a bounding box.
Is there a script for converting protein.pdb to .maps.fld?
Thanks!
I synthesis new ligand, that ligand react with divalent metals it forms metal complex. l used maestro 9.0 for docking the protein with ligand but the problem was maestro 9.0 (not only that all the docking software) not accepted the coordination bond between the metal and ligand in the .mol or .sdf format.so how to dock metal complex with protein.
I have installed MGL tools as per the protocol, and the tool is working but am not able to view the molecule.
Can someone help me out with problem to solve it.
I have done the docking process using Schrödinger for several ligand-proteins, how to calculate the value of ΔG for each of the ligand-proteins?

Is it required to optimize drug molecule before docking. I docked a drug against a receptor without the optimization. It performs pretty well. And the structures are stable and no changes of the bond seen. My question is will the reviewer of the journal reject my article if I do docking without drug optimization via gaussian or other method?

I wanted to convert few 2D compounds to 3D using Avogadro and then use them for docking. Are these ligands efficient for docking? Will I get accurate results. Thank you in advance.
I am currently working to dock a ligand at a receptor and working on autodock 1.5.6 and the map files are not being generated , as the autogrid run is unsuccessful, I have previously done this but this time I am unable troubleshoot as to why .gpf file is not being able to generate or being able to be read by autodock?
I have been trying to dock compounds consisting silicon(Ex-Octaphenylsilsesquioxane) with a protein but Pyrx throws up an error saying "Si" is not a valid Autodock type. Note that the Autodock atom types are case sensitive. How can i resolve this issue and continue with my docking process. It would be really helpful if anyone could answer this. Thank you in advance.
I'm using autodock vina in Python to dock multiple proteins and ligands, but I'm having trouble setting the docking parameters for each protein. How can I do this in Python? (I have attached my py code which I have done in this I have assumed this parameters same for all proteins)
I recently made some dockings with certain substances and obtained negative values of "VINA Score" but I don't know how to interpret it.
I have docked some chemical probes into my enzyme of interest Using CB-Dock2 services. I get multiple cavities detected but i know the one i want to dock in so only select 1 cavity. then it produces a protein-ligand complex when docking is complete.
However it only shows me one possible pose for the docked ligand in each cavity. Is there a way to be able to view multiple binding modes/poses in the same cavity? I tried downloading the protein-ligand complex pub and the ligand mol2 file but cant seem to find where to see other options for the same cavity? I was told there were multiple options for each cavity and it is possible to view them but i am unsure.
I am currently looking for any tools to analyze the probable docking sites intead of going for blind docking. Is there any bio-informatics tools or webserver that can help me further analyze the pockets present in my protein of interest and export the co-ordinates.
Not able to view the downloaded model from ClusPro using PDBSum. Since both the docked proteins contain single A chain, PDBSum shows it as single image. Please give suggestions. Also tried to save the chains as separate using PyMol, still didn't work.
I am docking multiple ligands (new designed ligand) against my protein using Autodock Vina in Chimera. The results displayed in this program are somewhat strange, because in some cases the ligands with no hydrogen bond or fewer bonds has the most negative Score than the ligand with more hydrogen bonds!!? Please look at the picture to get my mean(The best model in ligand with 2 hydrogen bonds has a score -8.3, While the best model in ligand with one or zero hydrogen bond has score -8.7 and -10.1 respectively!).
I understand that checking with other software or tools like PyMOL or PDBSUM will better help to analyze the possible interactions, however since I have several ligands with almost similar score and interaction network or equal hydrogen bond numbers, I am curious to now how to pick the best one (based on the in silico analysis) among them. If any body has suggestion for this I will appreciated it.
Hello,
I am working on a protein that belongs to NUDIX family hydrolases and therefore requires Mg ion as a cofactor. But the protein that I have downloaded from PDB is an apoprotein. I want to include Mg ion also in my docking and MD simulations. I have schrodinger software. Can anyone suggest me how to proceed with this problem?
Dear RG Member,
I hope this message finds you well. I have a set of 50 natural product ligands and plan to conduct molecular docking studies for a skin cancer research project. Could you kindly suggest the most suitable protein for docking in this context? Additionally, please provide the name of the protein and its associated PDB ID.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Best regards,
I possess a natural compound with a size of 70,000. Can I perform docking using PyMOL in a reasonable amount of time? If feasible, what is the estimated duration for completion?
Good day,
I created a grid using the Autodock tools and then using those coordinates and size I created a configuration file for Vina. But in the results, the location of the ligand do not match the specified coordinates and size. I used the PyMol for visualization, but the ligand is not placed within the previously selected coordinates.
Thank you for help.
Is it mandatory that the grid box has to be localized specifically at the same exact site where the reported inhibitor binds to the receptor? Is there any relevance for carrying out blind docking for a new drug (ligand) against a protein when already the site of inhibitor and protein binding is known from experimental XRD structure.
When I was docking proteins with small molecules, I ended up with this error:sorry l can't find or open "model _01_R349A.A.map",What is the cause of this situation, please teachers to solve the confusion
Can multiple instances of the same ligand be docked to one macromolecule? For instance, can one ligand be docked and then the output used as input for a second docking of the same ligand, and so on?
I recently did docking using PyRx program, and noticed that docking multiple ligands simultaneously gives slightly different binding energy for some of the ligands compared to when each of the ligands are docked against same receptor.
Also, I observed that the interacting amino acids also differ in some ligands in the two cases.
Thanks.
I have two proteins for which i want to check the interaction. I have searched and a server named Cluspro appeared. Is it okay to use a server for protein protein docking?
If yes then how will i do the analysis of the docking results?
If we're comparing several ligands activity with eachother by docking them with the same receptor
If two ligands have a mean RMSD of less than 2 which is good, do we only consider docking score then or do we still consider RMSD?
Dear RG Community,
I am validating my docking protocol by re-docking the co-crystalized ligand into a defined pocket.
After docking, I am getting a pose which is flipped around its axis in 180 degree than that of the co-crystalized one.
Surprisingly, RMSD was also very less (below 1.2 Angstrom) between docked and the co-crystalized poses.
Could you please suggest possible reasons and the solution on it.
Thank you.
While docking using AutodockTools 1.5.7, this msg pops up in the command prompt while inserting protein, but grid parameter files and the binding affinity results are perfectly generated. Is it ok to continue docking with other ligands while this error(swig/python detected a memory leak of type 'bhtree *', no destructor found) shows up?
Hello, I've recently started exploring molecular docking applications, and I'm still in the early stages. I'd like to ask Can I choose a ligand by giving the amino acid sequence and then do docking? Which applications would you suggest?
Thank you
Hello, I've recently started exploring molecular docking applications, and I'm still in the early stages.I'd like to ask which proteins should be considered when examining the antimicrobial effects of certain molecules.
Is there a list of these proteins(that I should use as a docking protein), or are there general rules for proteins that should definitely be examined?
Also, can I perform docking not with a molecule but directly with an organism? If so, what should I look for to predict antimicrobial effects?
Could you please guide me on this?
Thank you.
I am calculating the oniom energy for a complex, receptor only and ligand only to calculate the free binding energy of the ligand of interest. I've seen different papers that do get similar kcal/mol calculations to their respective docking experiments but wanted an opinion on if it truly makes sense to do so. Both methods are taking in completely different things when forming their calculations. I figured each would only be able to be compared relative to each other? Example. Ligands can only be compared to each other via docking alone and ligands used in oniom can only be compared to each other through oniom.
Hello everyone,
I used Cluspro to dock my protein of interest with several kinase proteins. Then, I analyzed the results using PDBsum and ProQ. I have a question regarding the ProQ results. For all my docked models, the Predicted LGscore was higher than 5, but the Predicted MaxSub was approximately -0.5. I'm not sure how to interpret this and whether I can consider my docked models acceptable or not. It's worth mentioning that I docked the entire protein, not just a short sequence, which may explain the negative value of MaxSub, is not it? Additionally, 79 to 85% of the protein residues in my models fall in the Most favored regions according to the Ramachandran Plot statistics, and the G factors range between -0.4 to -0.54. So, could someone please explain if my models are acceptable based on these statistics?
There is a large protein that I would dock a file containing 3 different ligands with to see if distinct binding sites are filled or not. Is any software to do so?
they are seemingly limited to one ligand docking
Thank you in advance
one of the proteins I am trying to dock has a phosphorylation at one of the residues and i want to dock it , without changing that residue, which tool can be used for such non standard, post translationally modified amino acid containing protein docking?
And I was using imidacloprid for molecular docking. When setting the ligand, the charge of imidacloprid was always calculated to be 0, and the docking reality was wrong.
I'm working with a protein that does not have a co-crystallized ligand. How to analyze the best docking pose and validate the docking procedure?
Is it the only way to validate the docking protocol in Autodock?
Hi, after docking my drug structure gets changed( a single bond became double bond). does anyone know how to solve this problem. Thanks
Greetings everyone,
I am trying to dock a planar ligand with a receptor molecule using Autodock tool. I want to freeze the torsions of the ligand. So, I changed the number of active torsions to 0. Also, in the .dpf file I set 'torsdof' to 0. However, I'm encountering issues with this approach.
I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions regarding this matter.
Hello everyone
I previously done the protein-protein docking with HEX8.0 software. But for more analysis (e.g. TMSD and s-score) of docking results, I am using the Autodock. I performed all the steps based on the Rizvi et al. (2013). When I want to write the commands in cygwins command line, I am facing with this error: "o.dpf: command not found".
Could anyone please help me by detailed steps and information?

Hello,
We need the pdb of metformin for docking studies in ClusPro.
We tried to make it from the 5G5J pdb but that pdb does not work in ClusPro. I added the pdb we made by splitting from 5G5J. Pymol can recognize it but not ClusPro.
Any recommendation would be helpful.
Thanks,

I was trying redock a ligand to a protein, which was already present in the PDB crystal structure. I extracted the ligand and tried to dock it again using Autodock vina in that same site specified by a grid box centered on the original position of the ligand and of size 30x30x30. The original docking mode in the crystal structure had 4 H-bonds, but the vina docking result has only one, and that too in a different position, about 10 A from the original position. I am trying it with different gridbox dimensions, with different exhaustiveness values (8, 32), but every time it is getting docked at that wrong position. It should also be noted that the docking results themselves are very consistent among themselves. (Refer to the attached image. Blue: Original position with 4 H bonds, Pink: Vina docked position with only 1 H bond)
Why is this happening? How do I get the correct docked structure? Is this a problem with vina itself, that it is not being able to find the correct docked position? If so, then is there any better tool for docking?
Please i need help on how i can solve the problem of '' /cygdrive/c/ADTWORKSPACE/autodock4: I'm sorry; I can't find or open "6LU7.Ag.map" on autodock. I tried to dock a silver complex molecule with protein and after series of editing the parameter file, gpf and dpf am still getting the error info.

I tried the following website. It does not work
Hello fellow researchers,
I made a docking from one of the articles. This work was done as a practice and to ensure the correct process of doing the work. When the docking was done and I checked the result of my docking with the same article, my results were different from that article in some ways, although I must say that I had to change the settings in several steps and optimize the ligand. My question is, is the difference (although close) of the results normal and not a problem? Thanks.
I am docking small peptides up to 6 AA chain long. After so many month of trying to find a successful peptide-protein docker, i finally found Swisssdock but now the challenge is how to analyse the results. I cannot open the results in ChimeraX and pyMol which are so much farmiliar with many of us. USCF chimera I can open the results but it is difficult to create images for publications. Can I please get help with a step by step guide how to view the results from Swissdock using Discovery Studio Visualizer to analyse the interactions .
I will be greatful and highly appreate any help rendered.
I have a protein that binds to ATP and another nucleotide. I want to dock them so that I can find out the binding site residues in the protein. Which tool can I use?
I am trying to dock a ligand on PyMol using the DockingPie plugin. When I import the ligand as a pdbqt file on pymol, DockingPie gives me the option to import that ligand for docking later on. However, when I select "set ligand" in the DockingPie plugin, I receive an error stating "FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified: '01_tclcactvs000ksOway_ADFR.pdbqt' -> '01_01-tclcactvs000ksOway-ADFR_ADFR.pdbqt'"
How do I go about this? Thank you!
This message is pooping up despite i am having the grid gpf file in the same folder where i am doing the docking and i have followed all the steps correctly from protein(BSA) preparation to ligand preparation(Ketoprofen). Still I am not able to run the autogrid command. While the same thing i have done for another set of protein and ligand and it worked.
Before this, I was running the docking on CB Dock just by doing the default setting which deletes all hetatoms. But after running the docking a few times, there have been suggestions to remain the hetatoms including metal ion. My question is which hetatoms need to have remained to dock and what is the important for this action. I quickly big no idea about these issues.
Thank you for answering my question.
Suppose I have done docking of BSA with Ketoprofen and I have got some poses. I have selected the best suitable pose of the ligand and then I saved that complex of BSA with Ketoprofen. Now what i want to do is that I want to dock the whole complex with another ligand, i.e. now my complex is the new receptor. So if anyone knows how to do it plz tell me
Dear all
Post docking I am not able to see any hydrogen bond interaction in my complex in ligplot. While when I visualised the same complex in DSV studio able to see two three conventional hydrogen bonds. Can you please help me is there any way to enhance hydrogen bonding during docking.
And is there any way to visualise the conventional H bond interaction in ligplot which were visible in DSV studio.

docking by autodock vina software
Hi,
I would like to explain a candidate ligand (e.g, small molecule) binding to a targeted protein. As there is no comparison with other ligands, how can we explain that?
Do they have a standard cut-off for free energy binding? Or can we show H-bond interaction from the best pose of ligand and a targeted protein?
Could anyone shed some light, please?
All the best,
I have a protein, which I have docked with a nucleic acid. Now I want to further dock a small molecule to this structure. How do I do it? Can anyone please suggest any servers or software which can do this. Or any method for this.
Hi
I am trying to perform MLSD to understand the docking interaction of 2 ligands with a receptor at a same time.
- For that I have followed AutoDock4 (10.1016/j.compbiolchem.2015.09.008 ; 10.1016/j.biochi.2018.10.007) in that "dpf" has to be generated individually and merge together
- Also I have followed AutoDock Vina (https://autodock-vina.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docking_multiple_ligands.html) with the given scripts
Successfully completed the docking in both the method but the result I obtained contains only one ligand.
Kindly help me to rectify this issues
Thanks in advance
I'm trying to dock protein with DNA. The only problem is that there is no experimental data available for my system. Based on the limited data, I did dock the system using HADDOCK. Now my concern is, it has given me 12 clusters with 4 structures in each. Can anyone tell me how to choose one structure from all the structures provided ? Also, how reliable is the docking for further processing?
Thank you

After uploading ligand-protein docked pdb structure and PDB manipulation options, when i click Next step: Generate PDB, it always shows CHARMM was terminated abnormally. Any recommendation how to solve this problem?
To the best of my knowledge, it is possible to use protein sequences in docking using AutoDock. Is it possible to do so in Molegro Virtual Docker?
I am trying to dock a Ruthenium complex with a protein. As expected, Vina does not recognize Ru atom type and throws the following error:
"PDBQT parsing error: Atom type Ru is not a valid AutoDock type (atom types are case-sensitive).
> ATOM 3 RU UNL 1 0.177 1.341 0.016 0.00 0.00 +0.000 Ru"
I have tried to modify the parameters by adding the Ru parameters (with case-sensitive alternatives), however the error persists.
Please help me to rectify this error. I am not able to find any documentation on the same for Vina. I am performing the calculations on a LINUX OS.
My desired ligand only has 2d structure there is no 3d structure. So whenever I tried to get 2d interaction ligand is not a single fragment occur after docking. So I converted my 2 d structure to 3d by avogadro and then docked but it keeps on appearing. Can anyone plz help me with this how to solve it
