Title Slide |
Welcome to this spoken tutorial on Receptor Preparation for Docking. |
Slide Number 2
Learning Objectives |
In this tutorial, we will learn to,
Open the receptor pdb file on the ADT display panel.
|
Slide Number 3
Learning Objectives |
Remove the ligand molecule crystallized along with the receptor.
|
Slide Number 4
System Requirement |
Here I am using
Ubuntu Linux OS version 20.04. Auto Dock Tools version 1.5.7. |
Slide Number 5
Pre-requisites |
To follow this tutorial learner should be familiar with,
Topics in basic bioinformatics. Basic operations on AutoDock Tools interface. |
Slide number 6
Code Files |
The input files required for this tutorial are available in the Code files link.
Please download and extract the files. Make a copy of all the files and then use them for practising. |
Open the terminal using Show Applications menu.
At the terminal prompt type adt and press enter.
|
Open the terminal.
Open AutoDock Tools interface using the terminal.
|
On the menu bar, click File > Read molecule
|
On the menu bar, click on File click on Read molecule.
|
Cursor on display panel. | A 3D model of the receptor appears on the display panel. |
Cursor on 3D model on the display panel. | We need to remove solvent, ligand and refine the crystal structure. |
Click on the Edit menu and select the Delete water option. | To remove water molecules from the structure:
|
Click on a small oval button in the S column next to 2vta.
Cursor on the oval button. |
On the left side of the dashboard, click on a small oval button in the S column next to 2vta.
All the atoms in the structure are highlighted as yellow dots. |
On the menu bar, click on Edit >> Hydrogens >> Add.
Click on the OK button. |
On the menu bar, click on Edit and select Hydrogens.
From the sub-menu select Add.
Select the All Hydrogens radio button. This button is already selected for me.
Leave them as such.
|
Zoom and show the hydrogens added to the structure. (White sticks). | Now you will see the hydrogens added to the 2vta structure on the display as white sticks. |
Click on the yellow oval selection button. | Click on the yellow oval selection button again to deselect the protein. |
Click on the small plus (+) button on the left side of 2vta on the left dashboard.
Click on the small plus (+) sign on the left side of A.
|
Now we need to remove the ligand molecule crystallized along with the protein receptor.
The button becomes yellow. |
Select Edit >> Delete >> Delete selected atoms.
|
To delete this structure from the receptor, click on Edit on the menu bar, then Delete select Delete selected atoms.
|
Cursor on the ADT panel. | Now the receptor is ready for grid generation. |
Open the File menu. Scroll down and click on Save option.
|
Let us save the receptor in the current state .
Scroll down and click on Save option.
|
In the file name field, type as 2vta-receptor-prep.
|
Type the file name in the given field and save in the current working directory.
|
Open the working directory (home directory) to show the file.
Cursor on the ADT panel. |
The session is saved in my working directory with the file extension .psf.
We will open this session for the grid generation process.
|
Click on File menu and Exit.
|
Exit ADT by clicking on File menu and Exit.
