Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I am trying to do docking using the command line tool in chimera. I
found that when I use the GUI opening Tools > Surface/Binding
Analysis > AutoDock Vina and following the docking window, I get
very similar results for the docking pose and score every time I run
the docking. However, if I do the same with the command line tool
(with the same parameters, box size, local version of vina, same
dock prep), I get very different results: the ligand is never in a
good docking position, always on a different side of the pocket, and
sometimes even intercepts strands of the protein. The docking scores
are also off. <br>
<br>
I am using using Chimera 1.13 (build 41780), AutoDock Vina 1.1.2
(May 11, 2011), and the following command line for docking:<br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">vina docking receptor
protein ligand #1.2 output
/home/mariana/GTN/docking/keap1/docking_test13 search_center
-7,3,-30.32 search_size 19,21,21 backend local location
/home/mariana/bin/vina num_modes 9<br>
</font><br>
I also found that the command line does not accept any of the vina
receptor or ligand options (e.g. receptor_addh) and gives me error
messages when including those ("Keyword 'receptor_addh' doesn't
match any known keywords")<br>
<br>
Does anyone what the problems for those issues could be?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Mariana<br>
