You should upgrade to the latest version (1.6.1) which includes a more recent version of antechamber with latest bug fixes.</div><div><br></div><div>2) I cannot get Chimera to fail on NAD (including old versions of Chimera). Does DockPrep work if you use it on 2h4f in regular, non-"nogui" mode? How about if you use it on 2gbp? Also, do you even want NAD present in the receptor when you attempt docking?</div><div><br></div><div>3) You couldn't possibly bring up the reply log in nogui mode since it creates a window. It's irrelevant anyway since the reply log output is the stuff you are already seeing on standard output (it only goes into the reply log in gui mode). For posterity, the syntax you would have used to start the reply log is: --start "Reply Log".</div><div><br></div><div>4) You would likely prep the ligand separately, yes.</div><div><br></div><div>I am taking chimera-users off the reply-to for this, since I doubt most subscribers will be interested in the minutiae of this problem.</div><div><br></div><div>--Eric</div><div><br><div><div>On Mar 16, 2012, at 12:35 PM, Brad Ridder wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><font size="4"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Hi Eric,<br> <br> I tried the dockprep.py file you pointed to me a few emails ago.

At the moment, I am trying to do execute all of the "dock prep" commands through the Terminal, since it is not practical to do large volumes of Dock Prep by hand through the CHIMERA GUI.<br> <br> Corresponding to what is in the DOCK tutorial, I am on "Receptor and Ligand Preparation." I got reduce to work, in order to add hydrogens.<br> <br> Now, I am trying to get antechamber to work, in order to add the charges, but it is not working. Here is the command I am running:<br> <br> <b><span style="font-family:courier new,monospace">sudo ./antechamber -i $DESKTOP/3GLR.pdb -fi pdb -o $DESKTOP/3GLRcharged.mol2 -fo mol2</span></b><br> <br> Which returns the error:<br> <b><br style="font-family:courier new,monospace"> <span style="font-family:courier new,monospace">Warning: $AMBERHOME and $DOCK_HOME enviornment strings are not set, use "mopac.sh" in the work directory</span><br style="font-family:courier new,monospace"><br style="font-family:courier new,monospace"> <span style="font-family:courier new,monospace">Cannot open CONNECT.TPL , exit</span><br style="font-family:courier new,monospace"><span style="font-family:courier new,monospace">The atom number exceeds the MAXATOM, reallocate memory</span></b><br> <br> I looked around in the dock6 directory, and found a folder called "parameters/antechamber", which contains CONNECT.TPL. I figured this is what should be the $AMBERHOME directory.<br> For DOCK_HOME, I figured it should be the dock6 folder.<br> <br> Here is what I have in my .bash_profile file in my home folder.<br> <br> <b style="font-family:courier new,monospace">export AMBERHOME='/home/.../DOCK6.5/dock6/parameters/antechamber'<br> export DOCK_HOME='/home/.../DOCK6.5/dock6'</b><br> <br> I also tried using the "amber11" folder that comes with CHIMERA as AMBERHOME, but to no effect.<br> <br> I don't actually have AMBER installed on my computer, but since CHIMERA can add charges without actually requiring the purchase of AMBER, I do not think that is the problem.<br> <br> I did not know what to do with "mopac.sh." I ran the script, but it says it needs input files.<br> <br> What am I doing wrong that is preventing antechamber from executing correctly?<br clear="all"></font></font><br> -- <br> Bradley James Ridder<br> Chakrabarti Group<br> Graduate Student<br> School of Chemical Engineering<br> Purdue University<br> <br> <br> </div> <div style="margin:0px;font-family:Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:12px;color:#000;background-color:#fff"> <pre style="font-size:9pt"><tt>_______________________________________________
