This is great, thanks a lot!
I checked and antechamber works fine for this ligand, great! Then I have a follow up question:
In this case, I need to dock this ligand into its receptor, and then MD with some of the best docking results, since I don’t have the ligand - protein complex. As I understand the antechamber energy and charges will be dependent on the specific geometry of the ligand, so I guess those are the steps to follow:
1) dock the ligand using my initial charges (calculated from an initial guess, in this guess a PDB geometry)
2) choose my best conformations from docking
3) recalculate antechamber for each ligand docking results I intend to run MD
4) create prmtop and run MD with each new antechamber result for the complex
Is this a generally correct protocol?
And then
Thanks a lot, hope this are not too trivial questions for you,
Best,
Fabian
