RE: [ccp4bb]: modeling inhibitor in groove

 Hi Peter,
 You can overlay the proposed inhibitor to the crystallographic inhibitor on
 the basis of molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) or GRID generated
 molecular interaction fields (MIF) with the software MIPSIM
 (http://www1.imim.es/modeling/mipsim/index.html). With the
 best
 superposition choosen, you can simply replace one inhibitor with the other
 one and carry on your simmulations.
 Good luck,
 Hugo

 You could give MOLREP a try, the manual says:

       Fitting two models (FM)
       <http://www.yorvic.york.ac.uk/%7Ealexei/molrep.html#FM>;
 The idea is to fit the electron densities instead of the atomic models,
 trying to find the best overlap. Advantages are:
     * can be used for cases with very low homology;
     * can be used when amino acid sequence is absent;
     * no need to use the list of equivalent atoms.
 If you define only two files of models (searching model and model_2),
 without a file of structure factors (Fobs), the program will fit the
 search model (keyword FILE_M
 <http://www.yorvic.york.ac.uk/%7Ealexei/molrep.html#file_m>;)
 to the
 second model (keyword MODEL_2
 <http://www.yorvic.york.ac.uk/%7Ealexei/molrep.html#model_2>;).
 The
 search model must be smaller or equal to the second model.

 No clue how to handle (large) conformational differences though.
 Or soak and solve maybe ?
