Flare_docking

Software

Flare 2.0.0 Revision 34140

System Preparation Parameters

pH= 4.5

System Preparation Method

Download 2P4J within Flare, delete all chains, ligands, and waters other than those of chain A. Align to BA01-BA20 as given by the organisers. Use the protein prep wizard in Flare to clean the protein assign protonation states to amino acids and cap ends.

Pose Prediction Parameters

Grid definition: 6A around ligand found in 2P4J including water molecules.
Quality: normal
Max Poses: 1
Pool Size: 1.00
Population Size: 1.00
Minimize Ligands before Docking: Yes
Rotate Amide Bonds: yes
Rotate Ester Bonds: Yes
Rotate Conjugated Bonds: Heuristically

Pose Prediction Method

Protein 2P4J was aligned with reference structures. Extracted ligand from protein 2P4J and defined docking grid for proteins BA01-BA20 based on ligand from 2P4J. In each co-crystal structure all water molecules were retained. Each BA01-20 protein was prepared using the protein prepare option of Flare, capping the terminal amino acids and protonate according to a pH of 4.5. Ligands were read in in smiles format. Using the docking button a docking calculations of all ligands were carried out with the following options: The quality was set to 'normal', only one pose was retained with a pool size of 1.00 and a population size of 1.00. Ligands were minimised before docking and amide and ester bonds were allowed to be rotated. The rotation of conjugated bond was done heuristically.
