This tutorial use the 3.7.2 beta version of dock release on April 17, 2015.

This is for a Linux environment and the scripts assume that you are running on SGE queuing system.

set up directories and get databases

Create directory called "RotationProject"

create a python file called "autodude_db_download.py"

# this gets the database from the autodude webpage

import sys, os
import urllib

system = 'abl1'
url = 'http://autodude.docking.org/dude_e_db2/'

print "url = " + url

#page=requests.get(url)

webfile = urllib.urlopen(url)
page    = webfile.read()
webfile.close()

splitpage=page.split('\n')

for line in splitpage:
   if system in line: 
      file = line.replace('"',' ').split()[2]
      print url+file
      urllib.urlretrieve(url+file,file)

     # exit()

This python script will download the dockable db2 databases from the autodude webpage.

python /mnt/nfs/home/rstein/RotationProject/autodude_db_download.py 

make a subdirectory called databases:

mkdir databases

go inside.

cd databases

make directories for ligands and decoys and move the corresponding files into those directories

mkdir decoys 
mv decoys*db2.gz decoys
mkdir ligands 
mv ligands*db2.gz ligands

download the ligand and decoy isomeric smiles file:

wget http://autodude.docking.org/abl1/decoys_final.ism
mv decoys_final.ism decoys.ism

note that the scripts expect the name to be decoys.ism, so we changed the name.

wget http://autodude.docking.org/abl1/actives_final.ism
mv actives_final.ism ligands.ism

run be_blasti.py

Create the following cshell script 0001.be_balsti_py.csh.

#!/bin/csh 

# this script calls be_blasti.py which creates a receptor and ligand file from a (list of) pdbcode(s).

# msms is a molecular surface generation program needed for be_blasti.py to run
# which is put in your path
set path = ( /nfs/home/tbalius/zzz.programs/msms $path )
# you will need to have msms on you system.   

set list = "2HYY" # or use `cat filename` to list your pdb codes here from a text file like pdblist_rat, to loop over each variable (pdb code) later
#set list = `cat $1`
#set list = `cat /nfs/work/users/tbalius/VDR/Enrichment/pdblist_rat `

# CHANGE THIS, according to where the magic is going to happen
#set mountdir = "/mnt/nfs/work/users/tbalius/VDR/"
set mountdir = `pwd` 

# loop over pdbnames e.g. 1DB1 or list
foreach pdbname ( $list )

echo " ${pdbname} "

# for each pdb makes a directory with its name
set workdir = ${mountdir}/${pdbname}

## so you don't blow away stuff; continue means STOP here and continue with next pdb from list
if ( -s $workdir ) then
   echo "$workdir exits"
   continue
endif

  mkdir -p ${workdir}
  cd ${workdir}

# the atom type definition is needed for msms which is sym-linked into the cwd
  ln -s /nfs/home/tbalius/zzz.programs/msms/atmtypenumbers .
# carbs are disregarded as ligands! if it is: carbohydrate instead of noncarbohydrate
# renumber renumbers the residue number
  python $DOCKBASE/proteins/pdb_breaker/be_blasti.py --pdbcode $pdbname nocarbohydrate original_numbers | tee -a pdbinfo_using_biopython.log

# error checking looks for receptor and ligand file which should be produced by be_blasti.py
  if !(-s rec.pdb) then
      echo "rec.pdb is not found"
  endif

  mv rec.pdb temp.pdb
  grep -v TER temp.pdb | grep -v END  > rec.pdb

  rm temp.pdb

# be_blasti.py produces peptide which may be used as a ligand if no other ligand is produced
  if (-s lig.pdb) then
     sed -e "s/HETATM/ATOM  /g" lig.pdb > xtal-lig.pdb
  else if (-s pep.pdb) then ## if no ligand and peptide
     sed -e "s/HETATM/ATOM  /g" pep.pdb > xtal-lig.pdb
  else
     echo "Warning: No ligand or peptid."
  endif

end # system


running 0001.be_balsti_py.csh will run a script that comes with dock called be_blasti. It will do the following

  1. Download the pdb file from the web
  2. Break the file into rec and ligand components

Note that you will need to have msms on you system. get msms

check to make sure that the right ligand was selected and the the residue is not missing anything of importance. If this automatic procedure has not prepared these files correctly, then modify them.

Visualize them with chimera or an alternive visualization program like pymol.

cd 2HYY
chimera rec.pdb lig.pdb
2HYY, the receptor and ligand generated from be_blasti.py.

run blastermaster.py

Write (paste what follows) the following script using a text editor like vi. This script creates the files necessary for docking including the spheres (for orienting the ligands/decoys) and grids (for scoring the ligand/decoy poses)

WARNING: if you copy and pasted the script make sure there is no space before the "EOF"; this is because "EOF" designates the "end of file" for the cat command, if a space is there it wont stop cat'ing.

0002.blastermaster.csh

#!/bin/csh 

# This script runs Ryan's blastermaster python masterscript for generating everything that dock needs, i.e. grids, spheres
# Run on sgehead as jobs are submitted to the queue

# list is same as in 001... script 
set list = "2HYY"
#set list = `cat $1`
#set list = `cat /nfs/work/users/tbalius/VDR/Enrichment/pdblist_all `

set mountdir = `pwd`
#set mountdir = "/nfs/work/users/tbalius/VDR/"

# loop over all pdb(s)
foreach pdbname ( $list )

echo "${pdbname}"

set workdir = ${mountdir}/${pdbname}

# checks that 001 ran successfully and produced the directory structure as expected
# if not stops with current pdb code and continues with next one in list
  if ! ( -s $workdir ) then
     echo "$workdir does not exit"
     continue
  endif

cd $workdir

#cat xtal-lig_ori.pdb | awk '{if ($1 == "ATOM" || $1 == "HETATM"){print $0}}' | sed -e "s/HETATM/ATOM  /g"  >  xtal-lig.pdb

# the following lines create a qsub script which submits blastermaster to the queue
cat <<EOF > qsub.csh
#!/bin/csh 
#\$ -cwd
#\$ -j yes
#\$ -o stderr
#\$ -q all.q
cd $workdir
python $DOCKBASE/proteins/blastermaster/blastermaster.py --addhOptions=" -HIS -FLIPs "  -v
EOF

qsub qsub.csh 

end # pdbname
# going to the next pdb

# this will produce two directories:
# 1) working - contains all input and output files that are generated; not needed afterwards but as a reference
# 2) dockfiles - contains everything that is needed to run dock (copied from working)
#    grids 
#    	trim.electrostatics.phi 
#    	vdw.vdw 
#    	vdw.bmp 
# 	ligand.desolv.heavy
# 	ligand.desolv.hydrogen
#    spheres
#    	matching_spheres.sph

Visualize the docking spheres

Use the showsphere program:

 $DOCKBASE/proteins/showsphere/bin/showsphere 
 $DOCKBASE/proteins/showsphere/doshowsph.csh file.sph 1 file.pdb


Alternatively, use the following simple cshell/awk script to convert spheres to pdb format:

cat << EOF > sphere2pdb.csh
#!/bin/csh -f
awk '$0!~/e/{ \
printf("ATOM  %5d  C   SPH%5d%12.3f%8.3f%8.3f%6.2f%6.2f\nTER\n", \$1, \$1, \$2, \$3, \$4, 1, \$5)}' \$1
EOF

This command statement will write the commands script to a file called sphere2pdb.csh. Make sure there is not space before the second EOF (end of file) above. To run the command:

csh sphere2pdb.csh file.sph > file.pdb


cd 2HYY/working

chimera rec.pdb matching_spheres.pdb

The spheres generated from blastermaster.py in relation to the receptor.

The box used for scoring can also be visualized in chimera with the following command:

chimera rec.pdb matching_spheres.pdb box

The spheres and box generated from blastermaster.py in relation to the receptor.

Write a file called 0003.lig-decoy_enrichment.csh

#!/bin/csh

combine scores and poses

Write this file as 0004.combineScoresAndPoses.csh. This script combines your docking runs (for ligands and decoys) and stores them in the extract_all.txt file. It also creates a .mol2 file containing all top scoring poses for each ligand/decoy.


#!/bin/csh

# This script combines the results from the ligand-decoy run 0003 (all chunks) into a combine file containing dock scores from OUTDOCK files
# Three files are produced (one for lig, decoy and both) 
# and: a file which has top poses as specified (e.g. top 1000 molecules with 2 poses each); two files (for lig and for decoys)

The pose generated from a decoy (green) docked to Abl1 compared to imatinib (blue).

create AUC plot of ligands and decoys

Make sure that you are using a version of python that has matplotlib/numpy/scipy modules:

For Shoichet user source the following:

 source /nfs/soft/python/envs/complete/latest/env.sh

or

 source /nfs/soft/python/envs/complete/latest/env.csh

Also, if you are running the processing script remotely make sure to use X11 forwarding by including a -X in the ssh command. eg:

 ssh gimel.ucsf.bkslab.org -X 


Write a file called 0005.AUCplot_of-lig-decoys.csh.

#!/bin/csh

# This script creates a log adjusted AUC (ROC) plot with ligand vs decoy results
# need X11 forwarding enabled when running remotely (ssh sgehead -X).

The ROC plot for ligands and decoys docking to Abl1 looks like this:

The ROC plot generated for the ligands and decoys.

This shows poor enrichment, though it is better than random (indicated by the dotted line). This is to be expected as docking to kinases is notoriously difficult. Two changes to our procedure would be to delete some of the spheres to focus docking on a particular region of the protein we are most interested in, as well as increasing the polarity of the hinge region of Abl1 to allow for more hydrogen bonding.

improving docking

Modify matching spheres

The docking could be potentially improved by modifying the spheres and orienting the ligands/decoys to only those spheres within the hinge region of Abl1. The following image show modified spheres:

Modified spheres to improve docking.

database setup

This part of the tutorial is tailored for shoichet lab use. An outside user of dock might need to deviate from what is described.

Go to zinc and select your compounds of interested:

'http://zinc15.docking.org/tranches/home'

This is the tranches page which allows users to select the region of chemical space of interest.

lets select the fragment preset.

on lets download the index file. This file contains the location of each database on our cluster. outside users will need to download the databases themselves.

now lets setup the directorys for docking by running the following script:

python /nfs/home/tbalius/zzz.github/DOCK/docking/setup/setup_db2_zinc15_file_number.py ./ vs_frag /nfs/work/tbalius/database_ph4/frags.txt 500  count

Note that this script is avable in later beta versons of DOCK3.7.

submitting the docking calculations

This script will submit a job to the queue for each of the docking directorys created by the setup script.

$DOCKBASE/docking/submit/submit.csh

DOCK3.7 is a serial program and is parallelized by submiting many serial jobs to the queue.

combining the results

After your docking jobs have all completed, This script will combine all your results into an extract_all file.

 $DOCKBASE/analysis/extract_all.py

This script will create a mol2 file with the top scoring molecules:

 $DOCKBASE/analysis/getposes.py

curating and hit-picking

Typically we will visualize the ligands in UCSF Chimera using the veiwdock tool (using the DOCK4, 5, or 6 format).
