How to Use MakeDOCK
- MakeDOCK automates the process of sphere and grid generation for a target.
Input files to MakeDOCK
- The following files are required to specify the target for MakeDOCK:
- rec.pdb: Prepared receptor file
- xtal-lig.mol2 (or .pdb): Ligand specification file
Receptor Preparation
To prepare a typical pdb structure for receptor use in MakeDOCK, perform the following steps:
- Remove solvent (i.e. crystallographic waters)
- Remove other non-essential hetero-atoms (everything but perhaps a co-factor essential for ligand binding)
- Remove the ligand itself
- Delete all hydrogen atoms
- Save as rec_original.pdb
