Did you know... MakeVinaCommand = Overview = Vina is a new, very fast, molecular docking program, written by Oleg Trott. In order to run Vina, you should have MGLTools1.5.4 installed (you need prepare_receptor4.py and prepare_ligand4.py). But, you don't need MGLTools for this script to run. To run Vina it needs to know the center of the protein and also its extents (size in XYZ directions). We can easily do this with PyMOL. Requirements: COM -- simple script to get the center of mass of a selection Todo: Commandline options Robustness to vagaries of input Usage & Help Usage pymol -cq ./makeVinaCommandFromProtein.py proteinFile ligandFile For high-throughput screening, where we compare each ligand to each protein, I typically wrap the script in a for-loop like: <source lang="bash"> foreach protein in my proteins directory for protein in proteinsDir/*; do # foreach ligand in my ligands directory for ligand in ligandsDir/*; do; # make a ..→
