[Chimera-users] any aid for dock3.5 score?

[Francesco Pietra]

Hi Elaine:
Do you know if standard capping groups (ACE NME) pose special
problems, or are you aware if there is a charge assignment for them in
relation to delphi? At any event, should their charge be adjusted so
that the total charge of the protein is unitary?

As the chimera tool is old, any idea if it faces problems with current
version 4 of delphi?

Any plan to make use of apbs in this context?

thanks
francesco
