DOCK Blaster

DOCK Blaster is a free-to-use service for running docking screens, on the web at http://blaster.docking.org. **DOCK Blaster is currently in beta test, so you should contact John Irwin for access until it becomes public** To use DOCK Blaster you will need the structure of a protein target and an indication of the binding site you wish to target. There are two ways to do this:

  • If your target is in the PDB, you may simply specify the PDB code, in the Parser.
  • If your target is not in the PDB, or you edited a PDB file, use the Preparer.
    • Upload the target in PDB format (preferred) or mol2 format
    • Specify the binding site using
      • a docked ligand in mol2 format (preferred) or
      • "hot spots", in PDB format
      • atoms of residues forming the binding site, the center of inertia of which be where you expect the ligand to go.

If you do not have a particular target in mind and are simply curious about DOCK Blaster, you may select "I'm feeling lucky", and we will pick a target for you from the PDB. To try one of the examples featured in our (forthcoming) DOCK Blaster paper, consult the sample data.
