Hi,

I have a molecule in pdb format. I have chopped out a fragment and tried 
docking it to another molecule. So now I have new coordinates for just 
the subsection. I would like to be able to rebuild the rest of the 
molecule in relation to the new coordinates. Any suggestions on the best 
way to do this?

Thanks

Alex

Dear ALL;

I was doing docking of database contains several tested in vitro/vivo compounds with a specific crystal structure using FLEXX. I gave crystal structure ligand as reference ligand for docking purpose. At the same time, database contains native ligand as well as their analogs.  

I computed CSCORE including drug score apart from flex score. 
At this point, From the docking result one may have to expect that the native ligand should be top scored. But when I sort various scoring functions; I may not be able to get native ligand docked in top 100 according to scoring functions.

Could anybody explain the reason, why docking may not be able to reproduce the native ligand in the thier structure.

I would deeply appreciate your reply,

Thanks in advance
