[PyMOL] preparation of protein ligand complexes for the MD simulation

2014-09-17 Thread James Starlight
Dear Pymol users, I've decide to make a copy of this topic from the amber mail list because this problem could be solves by ones of the methods implemented in Pymol. Here I'm facing with the problem of the preparation of protein-ligand complexes for amber md simulation: Following amber's

Hello James, You can use the Pair Fitting wizard (Menu: Wizards=Pair Fitting) or the pair_fit command to superimpose small molecules. It's not as straightforward as protein super/align, since you have to define the atom pairs that will be superimposed, but it's fairly easy. After that, just make a

Hi Fotis, thank you very much for the suggestion! Indeed I have not had such problem with the preparation structure for NAMD but in case of amber its really exist (the structure of the ligand provided in the complex with the receptor.pdb must be EXACTLY the same as it was previously parametrized

Hi James, what usually worked for me was simply to do it manually, in editing mode with pymol. Consider that you will perform an energy minimization after, so a few 1/10 of angstroms of difference in your initial model are not a big deal, in my opinion. Cheers, Gian On 9/17/14 3:17 PM, James

all manual and GUI operations are not accepted here! I'm dealing with the a huge number of protein-ligand complexes (many many different proteins but only 1 ligand- so the situation is not very bad !). But what is bad that I need to dock each complex using vina and make its parametrization by

[PyMOL] Pymol for iPad: is a custom URL scheme in use?

2014-09-17 Thread Sula Armstrong
Hello PyMol users Is there a way to launch PyMol on the iPad [from another application] specifying additional parameters, e.g. a pdb code so that the app picks up the RCSB's PDB and takes you straight to the view? E.g. .is there a custom URL scheme in use, like pymol://?PDB= that would

Sorry, I didn't get this important point. Have you tried to run antechamber using your vina output as an input? You could do something like grep HETATM output.pdbqt | cut -c1-66 output.pdb and use acpype to prepare the topology, with output.pdb as an input file.

Hi Spencer, multi-letter chain IDs of arbitrary length will be available in the next PyMOL version. It's in fact already available with the latest updates in our open-source SVN repository on sourceforge. Cheers, Thomas On 17 Sep 2014, at 06:36, Spencer Bliven sbli...@ucsd.edu wrote: Are
