Name

grandconsen_qpld_XP_SP_Vina_AD4

Software

Schrodinger2016,Vina1.1.2,Autodock4.2.5

Parameters

Assumed pH 7.4

Method

We used Maestro's prepwizard to add hydrogens using default parameters
and an assumed pH of 7.4.
The binding site HIS 451 was used in an alternative flipped, "open", doubly protonated (HIP) configuration.
Ligand conformational libraries were generated using ligprep.
A grand consensus was then used (averages) employing the scores and ranks for each program and scoring function, that is, qpld (quantum polarized ligand docking), Glide Xp, Glide SP, Autodock Vina, and Autodock4 Binding energy.
In this submission, ligands are ranked according to average score

System Preparation Parameters

Assumed pH 7.4

System Preparation Method

Maestro's prepwizard was used to add hydrogens using default parameters.
All the waters were retained
The binding site residue HIS 451 was used in a flipped, and "open" alternative configuration, and doubly protonated (HIP)
Ligand conformational libraries were generated using LigPrep.
Preparation for docking with Vina was done using MGLTools with the ligand pdb files from ligprep.

Pose Prediction Parameters

Exhaustiveness=32 #exhaustiveness of global search (default=8)

Pose Prediction Method

Poses were predicted using the deepest energy pose from qpld, and where this did not produce a pose, then either XP poses were used (FXR_16), or Vina poses (FXR_65, 79, 80, 97, and 101)
