A tool to predict potential water molecules in the protein binding pocket
1. Programs wsitem: the main program for predicting water locations. usage: ./wsitem protein_file ligand_file apo/holo [ D=4.0 Cutoff=5.0 radius=2.0 N=10 ] protein_file: PDB format; ligand_file: Mol2 format, used for defining the protein binding pocket; apo/holo: determine whether the ligand is included in the prediction of water locations; D: the distance between the cubic boundary and the nearest ligand atom, default 4.0Å; Cutoff: cutoff value for defining favorable PMF values in water site clustering, default 5.0; radius: the distance defining the region around the center point, default 2.0Å; N: the least number of grids in a cluster for a valid hydration site, default 10. Three default parameter files are required including: PARA_PRO.TXT: PMF parameters for protein atom and water molecule; PARA_WAT.TXT: PMF parameters between water molecules, used for calculating interactions between water molecules; PARA_LIG.TXT: PMF parameters for ligand atom and water molecule, only required if the "holo" state is assigned. After running the command, a log file "wsite.log", a Mol2 file "wsite.pdb" and a grid file "grid.txt" with PMF energies are generated. getwat: used to select the water molecules within a defined distance from the protein and ligand atoms. usage: ./getwat protein_file ligand_file wat_file [ distance=4.0 ] protein_file: PDB format; ligand_file: Mol2 format; wat_file: PDB format; distance: a value defines the distance between the oxygen atom of the water molecule and the protein/ligand atom, default 4.0Å. analws: used to calculate the distance between a pair of nearest water molecules. usage: ./analws ligand_file wat_file1 wat_file2 [ distance=4.0 ] ligand_file: Mol2 format; wat_file1 and wat_file2: PDB format, including the coordinates of water molecules; distance: a value defines the distance between the oxygen atom of the water molecule and the ligand atom, default 4.0Å. dG: used to calculate the interaction energies of the predicted water molecules from the protein atoms and other water molecules. usage: ./dG hs_file grid_file hs_file: PDB format, including the coordinates of the predicted water molecules; grid_file: "grid.txt", generated by "wsitem" program, including the coordinates and PMF energies of each grid; |
