Hi,

To run autogrid you should use autogrid command which will produce several output files. Then autodock.dpf file is prepared selecting receptor structure, grid file output and docking parameters. autodock4 command will be used to start docking.

Kindly follow instructions from manual.

Dear Yeshwanth,

I too faced this problem. Here is the solution. When you are creating *.gpf and *.dpf files save the file with name and extension given within double quotes. Eg. If it is Grid.gpf then "grid.gpf". And same for dpf. It will recognize.

Thank you very much for your script. Thanks a lot! Anwesh Pandey

I'm running into this save issue, and it is not from a lack of checking the manual. I've performed a ligand binding site prediction on a protein following AutoGrid followed by AutoLigand. Note, this means that I am not parametrizing a ligand, only the receptor. After restarting AutoGrid to do the same on my second structure I run into this problem despite AutoDockTools has no reason to create a .dpf file.

Thank you very much Anthony Nash

We had the same problem and the solution was renaming the folder to eliminate the space in the name folder
