When I tested with FAD after your first question, I didn’t add hydrogens in Chimera, and in our earlier tests of Vina with Chimera hydrogen addition, we hadn’t tried structures with FAD.

I was able to dock a sugar with the FAD in situ, but only under following conditions: (1) change names of hydrogen atoms of the hydroxy groups of FAD from HOx to HxO; (2) for dockprep, calculate charges of FAD using method of Gasteiger instead of AM1-BCC.  Hope the information is useful as user feedback.

We would like to know if we could dock a sugar into the substrate binding site with the FAD molecule in situ.  Thank you for your help.
