Dear Amber !
I was going through the paper
Samsonov, S. A.; Gehrcke, J. P.; Pisabarro, M. T. ""Flexibility and
explicit solvent in molecular dynamics-based docking of
protein-glycosaminoglycan systems" ."
*Journal of Chemical Information and Modelling*, 54(2):582-592 *(2014)*
they have reported the approach for few small molecular docking, I was
trying to do the same .
