This page contains additional information that belongs to the article: Sobolev, V., Wade, R.C., Vriend, G. & Edelman, M. Molecular docking using surface complementarity, PROTEINS, 25, 120-129 (1996) and illustrates ability of our approach in prediction of structure of ligand-receptor complexes. This approach is based on information about the molecular shape and chemical nature of the atoms of the interacting molecules.
If you want to get graphics, you should put:

in your .mailcap file. Also, make sure that rasmol is in your path.
You can also look at the results of LIGIN's participation in CASP2.

Results of docking procedure using holo-protein coordinates

The crystallographical coordinats of holo-proteins with ligand in their binding site (but with all other cofactors removed). In these files the docked ligand with the best complementarity is included. The crystallographical coordinats of holo-proteins with ligand in their binding site (but with all other cofactors removed). In these files the docked ligand with the second best complementarity is included. Crystallographical coordinats of holo-proteins (dihydrofolate reductase) with the ligand (methotrexate) and NADPH in the binding site (3dfr PDB file). There are also coordinates of the ligand in the positions with the best and second best complementarity, respectively.

Results of docking procedure using apo-protein coordinates

Crystallographical coordinats of apo-, holo-proteins and ligand plus docked ligand in position with best complementarity. Crystallographical coordinats of apo-, holo-proteins and ligand plus docked ligand in position with second best complementarity. Crystallographical coordinats of apo-, holo-proteins and ligand plus docked ligand in position with third best complementarity. Crystallographical coordinates of holo-protein (met repressor from 1cmc PDB file) with the ligand (corepressor s-adenosylmethionine) in the binding site (without any other cofactors). Before ligand docking into the apo-protein its coordinates (from 1cmb PDB file) have been changed by superposition (using WHATIF software) with coordinates of holo-form. The docked positions with best and second best complementarity are given.
