To get started, you will need the structure of the target in PDB format, and some specification of the binding site. Currently, we support one of two forms: * a) a docked ligand, which is used both as a control and indication of where to dock, in mol2 format. If you don't have a docked ligand, don't worry, you can also specify:
To get started, you will need at the very least the following:
* b) residues making up the binding site, in PDB format. The center of interia of these atoms should be about the same place that the center of a docked molecule would be.
* The structure of the target in PDB format (best) or mol2 format
* A specification of the binding site. This may be in one of two forms:
** A docked ligand in mol2 format, which is also used to test the docking parameterization
** "hot spots", in PDB format, which may be based on one or more ligands.
** Atoms of residues forming the binding site. The center of intertia of these atoms should coincide with where you expect the ligand to go.


That's really all you need to have to get started. If you don't have a particular project in mind, you may use some [[DOCK Blaster::Sample_Data Sample Data]] to experiment with. To read more, please consult the topics below.

DOCK Blaster is a free web based molecular docking and virtual screening service, on the web at http://blaster.docking.org.

To get started, you will need at the very least the following:

  • The structure of the target in PDB format (best) or mol2 format
  • A specification of the binding site. This may be in one of two forms:
    • A docked ligand in mol2 format, which is also used to test the docking parameterization
    • "hot spots", in PDB format, which may be based on one or more ligands.
    • Atoms of residues forming the binding site. The center of intertia of these atoms should coincide with where you expect the ligand to go.

That's really all you need to get started. If you don't have a particular project in mind, and you are just curious about DOCK Blaster, you may use some DOCK Blaster::Sample_Data Sample Data to experiment. To read more, please consult the topics below.
