TLDR
TLDR (tldr.docking.org) is a web-based interface to molecular docking and related tools. The system currently consists of a dozen apps. We plan to support dozens, perhaps a hundred all told. Here we list the apps you can currently use, with usage notes.
This is also called "Add TLDR Module"
Modules
Bioisostere (formerly Analog)
The purpose of the bioisostere app is to find analogs of your active compounds that you can use to explore SAR by catalog around your hits.
This app requires:
- a starting molecule (one at a time for now)
- a tanimoto limit
- mwt and logP limits
- which bioisosteric replacements are acceptable (default all)
This app returns:
- 2D molecules within limits on molecular weight and logP (default 400 and 4.0 respectively) and tanimoto (default 0.5).
- Results are in three separate files.
- a. molecules you can buy according to ZINC
- b. molecules you can make or have made in one, two or three steps from commercially available building blocks
- c. molecules that are intriguingly similar but will require more synthetic effort.
The output of this app can be used by the following other modules in TLDR
- blaster, for docking.
- build 3d, to build docking libraries
- potentially covalent, depending on warhead
- cluster, to cluster the results
- dude, to generate decoys
- libanalysis, to get a detailed analysis of properties and targets
- report2d, to get a quick summary of physical and chemical properties
status: Not working yet.
Blaster
The purpose of the blaster app is to prepare a receptor for docking, including some basic analysis.
This app requires:
- A structure for your receptor protein provided as a pdb file
- A binding site provided in one of the following ways:
1) Supply ligand in binding site 2) Provide binding site residues 3) Use a program to identify all potential binding sites. Choose which of the binding sites to test or test them all.
The app returns:
- dockfiles, which may be used for large library docking
- workfiles, which may be used for grid and sphere optimization.
The output of this app can be used by:
- asdf
- sef
- sdfafd
Status: works. (equivalent of blastermaster.py)
Build3D
Works
Covalent
Purpose:
This app requires:
- asdf
This app returns:
- asdf
The output of this app can be used by:
- adsfasdf
Status: Works with special cases only. Nearly ready to use. If interested, ask jji for assistance.
Cluster
Purpose:
This app requires:
- asdf
This app returns:
- asdf
The output of this app can be used by:
- adsfasdf
Status: Works.
DUDE-Z
Purpose: Assemble decoys for docking using the DUDEZ approach. See http://dudez.docking.org for sample data
This app requires:
- Ligands provided in smiles format (actives.smi)
- Current default parameters are shown in the following decoy_generation.in file:
PROTONATE YES MWT 0 125 LOGP 0 3.6 RB 0 5 HBA 0 4 HBD 0 3 CHARGE 0 0 LIGAND TC RANGE 0.0 0.35 MINIMUM DECOYS PER LIGAND 20 DECOYS PER LIGAND 50 MAXIMUM TC BETWEEN DECOYS 0.8 TANIMOTO YES
See http://wiki.docking.org/index.php/Generating_decoys_(Reed%27s_way) for an explanation of what these parameters mean and how DUDE-Z works.
This app returns:
- List of decoys
Status: Nearly ready to use. Awaiting advice from Reed
Libanalysis
Purpose:
This app requires:
- asdf
This app returns:
- asdf
The output of this app can be used by:
- adsfasdf

Reaction
Purpose:
This app requires:
- asdf
This app returns:
- asdf
The output of this app can be used by:
- adsfasdf
Status: Works at a basic level, with minor caveats.
- need to handle mwt and logP cutoff parametrically.
- needs work to handle millions of molecules
- needs work to connect to reagents, reactions and schemes

How to add new module
Supported field types
For now, the model accepts "text_box", "check_box", "drop_down" , "radio_button", and so on
If "type" is "text_box", it can contain a text or number with a min and a max range. If there is a min and a max range, then they have to be mentioned as "value_type": "number", "value_range": {"min_value": 0.1,"max_value": 0.99} as in parameters.json for cluster. If "type" is "text_box" and "value_type" is "text", then it is a normal text box with no range or validations. 6. Every input mentioned under the key "inputs" has a field called "file_name", which the name by which the input file uploaded/filled by the user gets stored in the file system at /nfs/ex7/blaster/jobs/JobID%10/Jobname_jobID folder.
7. Every job type has a "job_output" field, which currently stores an empty results.txt file which can be modified to do another action later. For now, the inputs uploaded, and the output file name specified by the user gets stored in the file system under the path that I mentioned in point 6.
