[Chimera-users] Topology error

Dear Elaine,

You are right, the problem is the size of my ligand, because I have also tried with the Autodock Vina of Chimera and I get this error: "Too many heavy atoms (>100)". Do you know how I can solve it?. My ligand is a lipid, so its bigger than common ligands, but much smaller than my protein.

I attach the pdb file of my ligand.

Thank you very much,
C.

Dear Cristina,
You should probably ask the SwissDock people, since we don’t know the details of what their server requires.  I’m guessing you are using this website:

<http://www.swissdock.ch/docking>

Also they probably wouldn’t be able to tell you anything either unless you include the file you were trying to upload. The ligand should probably be a small molecule and not contain metals or rare elements, but that’s just my guess.

I hope this helps,
Elaine

However, when I tried to upload the mol2 file in SwissDock I get this error:  “Ligand setup failed. Please check that your structure file has a correct topology. No extra info available”.
