<p>Can the autodock vina tool under structure/binding analysis be considered a reliable docking tool? It seems to go through the motions of docking just fine, but are the ligand positions returned by it really very stable?<br>
</p>

<p>just curious<br>

<div dir="auto">Chimera is not docking software. I agree dock preparation icon is working in chimera after showing in a docking program as a resource to dock. Would you recommend a docking program if you figure out my manner?

Hi Nail,<br>
Chimera is not a docking program. However, if you mean you just want to move the ligand to the receptor by hand, here is some description of how to move things and to “freeze” certain models so that they don’t move with the mouse. You have to put the ligand
and receptor in two different input PDB files so that they are open as two separate models.<br>
<br>

<br>
Still, moving with the mouse may not be easy. <br>
<br>
If you want to do computational ligand-receptor docking with restraints, you would need to find a different program (not Chimera).<br>
<br>
If you want to learn Chimera better, you could try some of the tutorials:<br>

I hope this helps,<br>
