How to dock in DOCK3.8

How to dock in DOCK 3.8.0

Differences from DOCK.3.7

DOCK 3.8.0 can be interrupted safely and restarted, which allows more flexibility when submitting docking jobs.

For example, you could set QSUB_ARGS="-l s_rt=00:05:00 -l h_rt=00:07:00" (or SBATCH_ARGS="--time=00:07:00") so that each docking job will only run for 5 minutes before being interrupted. The new subdock.bash script allows submitting the same set of jobs multiple times, until they are all complete. A more pragmatic choice might be "-l s_rt=00:28:00 -l h_rt=00:30:00" to get the benefit of faster scheduling on wynton in the short.q. Another advantage is that the job can be interrupted at any time on AWS and it will checkpoint and be restartable.

Running the Script

New subdock scripts are here:

$DOCKBASE/docking/submit/sge/subdock.bash $DOCKBASE/docking/submit/slurm/subdock.bash

subdock.bash requires a number of environmental variables to be passed as arguments.

Required Arguments

INPUT_SOURCE

INPUT_SOURCE should be either:

a) A directory containing one or more db2.tgz files OR

b) A text file containing a list of paths to db2.tgz files

A db2.tgz file should be a tarred + gzipped archive (tar -czf archive.tgz) that contains one or more db2 or db2.gz files.

A job will be launched for each db2.tgz file in INPUT_SOURCE.

EXPORT_DEST

A directory on the NFS where you would like your docking output to end up. If the directory does not exist, the script will try to create it.

DOCKEXEC

An NFS path to a DOCK binary executable (NOT a wrapper script).

IMPORTANT: You should append the executable's compile time stamp to the end of it's name, e.g dock64.20210302. This will avoid any confusion of this executable with other versions of DOCK floating around.

DOCKFILES

An NFS path to the dockfiles (INDOCK, spheres, receptor files, grids, etc.) being used for this docking run. The dockfiles directory should be named uniquely, to avoid confusion with other dockfiles other users may be running.

Optional Arguments

SHRTCACHE

The directory DOCK will perform it's work in. Files saved to this directory will be deleted once the docking job has concluded. By default this is /dev/shm.

LONGCACHE

The directory DOCK will store files that are shared between multiple docking jobs. Files saved to this directory (dockexec and dockfiles) will persist until they are deleted. By default this directory is /tmp.

Beware of using the default SHRTCACHE or LONGCACHE settings on large clusters.

SBATCH_ARGS

Additional arguments to provide to slurm's sbatch, if using the slurm version of subdock.bash.

QSUB_ARGS

Additional arguments to provide to sge's qsub, if using the sge version of subdock.bash

Examples

BKS Example

export INPUT_SOURCE=example.in
export OUTPUT_DEST=output
export DOCKEXEC=$DOCKBASE/docking/DOCK/bin/dock64
export DOCKFILES=dockfiles.example
export SHRTCACHE=/dev/shm
export LONGCACHE=/tmp
export SBATCH_ARGS="--time=02:00:00"

$DOCKBASE/docking/submit/slurm/subdock.bash

Wynton Example

export INPUT_SOURCE=example.in
export OUTPUT_DEST=output
export DOCKEXEC=$DOCKBASE/docking/DOCK/bin/dock64
export DOCKFILES=dockfiles.example
export SHRTCACHE=/scratch
export LONGCACHE=/scratch
export QSUB_ARGS="-l s_rt=00:28:00 -l h_rt=00:30:00"

$DOCKBASE/docking/submit/sge/subdock.bash

Example: Running a lot of docking jobs

• see ZINC22:Current status for more info about where ZINC can be found.

• 1. set up sdi files

mkdir sdi
export sdi=sdi
ls /wynton/group/bks/zinc-22/H19/H19P0??/*.db2.tgz > $sdi/h19p0.in
ls /wynton/group/bks/zinc-22/H19/H19P1??/*.db2.tgz > $sdi/h19p1.in
ls /wynton/group/bks/zinc-22/H19/H19P2??/*.db2.tgz > $sdi/h19p2.in
ls /wynton/group/bks/zinc-22/H19/H19P3??/*.db2.tgz > $sdi/h19p3.in
and so on

• 2. set up INDOCK and dockfiles. rename dockfiles to dockfiles.$indockhash. On some nodes, the shasum command is called by sha1sum. Ultimately, renaming the dockfiles to a unique dockfiles is key.

bash
indockhash=$(cat INDOCK | shasum | awk '{print substr($1, 1, 12)}')

• 3. super script:

export DOCKBASE=/wynton/group/bks/work/jji/DOCK
export DOCKFILES=$WORKDIR/dockfiles.21751f1bb16b
export DOCKEXEC=$DOCKBASE/docking/DOCK/bin/dock64
#export SHRTCACHE=/dev/shm # default
export SHRTCACHE=/scratch
export LONGCACHE=/scratch
export QSUB_ARGS="-l s_rt=00:28:00 -l h_rt=00:30:00 -l mem_free=2G"

for i in  sdi/*.in  ; do
        export k=$(basename $i .in)
	echo k $k
	export INPUT_SOURCE=$PWD/$i
	export EXPORT_DEST=$PWD/output/$k
	$DOCKBASE/docking/submit/sge/subdock.bash
done

1. 3a. to run for first time

sh super

1. 4. how to restart (to make sure complete, iterate until complete)

Appendix case study: Docking mono-cations of ZINC22 with DOCK3.8 on Wynton

Added by Ying 3/10/2021

• set up the folder to run docking

 mkdir zinc22_3d_build_3-10-2021
 cd zinc22_3d_build_3-10-2021

• copy INDOCK into dockfiles folder, and transfer to the created folder

 cp INDOCK dockfiles
 scp -r dockfiles dt2.wynton.ucsf.edu:/path_to_created_folder

• get sdi of monocations of already built ZINC22 (<= H26 heavy atom count)

mkdir sdi

foreach i (`seq 4 1 26`)
  set hac = `printf "H%02d" $i `
  echo $i $hac
  
  touch sdi/${hac}.sdi
  foreach tgz (`ls /wynton/group/bks/zinc-22*/${hac}/${hac}[PM]???/*-O*.db2.tgz`)
    ls $tgz
    echo $tgz >> sdi/${hac}.sdi
  end

end

• rename the dockfiles directory

 indockhash=$(cat INDOCK | sha1sum | awk '{print substr($1, 1, 12)}')
 mv dockfiles dockfiles.${indockhash}

• write the run_script.sh

cat <<EOF > super_run.sh
export DOCKBASE=/wynton/group/bks/soft/DOCK-3.8.0.1
export DOCKEXEC=$DOCKBASE/docking/DOCK/bin/dock64

# CHANGE here: path to the dockfiles.${indockhash}
export DOCKFILES=/wynton/group/bks/work/yingyang/5HT-5a/10_AL-dock/zinc22_3d_build_3-10-2021/dockfiles.${indockhash}

export SHRTCACHE=/scratch
export LONGCACHE=/scratch
export QSUB_ARGS="-l s_rt=00:28:00 -l h_rt=00:30:00 -l mem_free=2G"

for i in  sdi/*.sdi  ; do
	export k=$(basename $i .sdi)
	echo k $k
	export INPUT_SOURCE=$PWD/$i
	export EXPORT_DEST=$PWD/output/$k
	$DOCKBASE/docking/submit/sge/subdock.bash
done

• extract the output

 ls -d output/*/*/ > dirlist
 python $DOCKBASE/analysis/extract_all_blazing_fast.py dirlist extract_all.txt 0

• get poses.mol2
