Introduction to Tutorials

DOCK Blaster tutorials are designed to illustrate the use of DOCK Blaster using real-world examples, with data drawn from and referenced back to the chemical and biological literature. They are scripted in a way that we imagine you might actually use DOCK Blaster for research. We also offer protocols, which are designed to illustrate in a more abstract form many more of the tasks that can be performed using DOCK Blaster.

Each tutorial contains:

  • a conceptual summary of the scientific questions being investigated
  • pointers to relevant literature
  • a consideration of the practical details in adapting theory to calculation
  • pointers to available data to use
  • step by step instructions, with screenshots, describing how to proceed
  • a guide to how to evaluate and use the results
  • suggestions of follow up experiments, variations
  • a consideration of problems that may occur and what to do about them

DOCK Blaster:Tutorial 1

DOCK Methotrexate (MTX) to Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) == This is one of the oldest examples used in molecular docking. It illustrates the use of a single crystal structure with a ligand bound. It illustrates the use of special co factor parameter.


DOCK Blaster:Tutorial 2

DOCK arylsulfonamide to carbonic anhydrase. This is an example of docking to Zn metalloenzymes. Also describes the use of special ZINC subsets containing relevantly deprotonated ligands.

DOCK Blaster:Tutorial 3

DOCK to target X, for which only an apo structure is available. Describes both modeling a ligand in, and using protein residues in the binding site to indicate the binding site. An additional difficulty is the lack of diagnostics because of no ligand.
