'''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 [[DOCK Blaster:Protocols | 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:
You do not need to run a tutorial before you use DOCK Blaster, but we recommend it and it will not take long.  Scan the list and try to pick an example that resembles your current project, in terms of available information and perhaps target class, ligand chemistry, or binding site situation.  Please see also the [[DOCK Blaster:Preliminaries | preliminary considerations]] article for the "big picture". The categories of targets we will consider are:  nuclear receptor, enzyme, metallo-enzyme, kinase, GPCR.  The types of problems we consider are : good information, minimal information, insufficient information, and excessive information.  The level of effort for the tutorial is either  easy, moderate, or hard.

Introduction

  • NOTE: these tutorials did not get finished before the paper appeared in J Med Chem. Please manage as best you can until we write them properly*

We have tried to identify projects that are *representative* of common projects, *illustrative* of the features and weaknesses of DOCK Blaster as it currently stands, and *didactic*, in as much as they illustrate how we imagine this service should be used.

You do not need to run a tutorial before you use DOCK Blaster, but we recommend it and it will not take long. Scan the list and try to pick an example that resembles your current project, in terms of available information and perhaps target class, ligand chemistry, or binding site situation. Please see also the preliminary considerations article for the "big picture". The categories of targets we will consider are: nuclear receptor, enzyme, metallo-enzyme, kinase, GPCR. The types of problems we consider are : good information, minimal information, insufficient information, and excessive information. The level of effort for the tutorial is either easy, moderate, or hard.

  • Effort: Medium
  • Problem type: Minimal information
  • PDB code: XXXX

  • Effort: Medium
  • Problem type: Minimal information
  • PDB code: XXXX

  • PDB code: XXXX

DOCK to cruzain, a cystein protease target for Chagas' Disease, 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. Lack of diagnostics because of no available ligand.

  • Effort: Medium
  • Problem type: Minimal information
  • PDB code: XXXX


DOCK to a target for which no crystal structure is available. Describes the use of Blast/Modbase to obtain and evaluate a structure. Describes checking the model of the target for suitability for docking.
