# YASARA MACRO # TOPIC: 5. Structure prediction # TITLE: Docking a ligand to a receptor locally # REQUIRES: Structure # AUTHOR: Elmar Krieger # LICENSE: GPL # DESCRIPTION: This macro samples local ligand conformations in a user-supplied complex. An analysis log file is written at the end. # Parameter section - adjust as needed, but NOTE that some changes only take effect # if you start an entirely new docking job, not if you continue an existing one. # ================================================================================= # You can either set the target structure by clicking on Options > Macro > Set target, # or by uncommenting the line below and specifying it directly. #MacroTarget='/home/myname/projects/docking/1sdf' # Number of docking runs runs = 250 # Docking results usually cluster around certain hot spot conformations, # and the lowest energy complex in each cluster is saved. Two complexes belong to # different clusters if the ligand RMSD is larger than this minimum [A]: rmsdmin = 5.0 # Set to 1 for rigid docking rigid = 0 # Forcefield to use for docking ForceField AMBER03 # Normally no change required below this point # ============================================ # Sanity checks if MacroTarget=='' RaiseError "This macro requires a target.
