Re: [PyMOL] Electrostatic calculations with ligand bound

2011-12-06 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi Andrew,

The main limitation for problems like this is that you need to have
parameters for the ligand. Making sure that you have good parameters
is often an expert-level topic, and you're probably best served by the
APBS or PDB2PQR listservs as well as the literature ... but, you can
get a decent start on things with PDB2PQR itself. See
http://www.poissonboltzmann.org/pdb2pqr/examples/ligand-parameterization
for some good starting instructions. Once you have a PQR file that
includes both the protein and the ligand, the PyMOL/APBS plugin should
do everything that you need.

If that doesn't solve your problem, please let me know.

Cheers,
-Michael

 Hey guys,

 I am trying to calculate electrostatics with a ligand bound to my molecule

 this is a normal limitation with APBS, and I've tried other programs to no 
 avail.  I have not been able to rebuild my molecule in the correct format 
 either.  Any help here is greatly appreciated.

Hi Andrew.

I experienced something similar for the autodock_plugin.
http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Autodock_plugin

During my trials, I notified two things for autodock.
It did not like funny atom names or Alternative configuration

Could this be a case for your protein / ligand?
I don't know if is the same for the APBS plugin, but you could try?
http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Autodock_plugin#Example_1_-_Rename_of_funny_atom_names

Some of the preparation scripts for both plugins are coming from the same
research groups.
I think they both use: pdb2pqr or something.

Best
Troels
