Hi I want to make a DNA marcomolecule a flexible receptor in Autodock 4. However, I keep getting an error that prevents me so could someone explain?

11 June 2024 1 6K Report

I'm performing interactions between DNA as the macromolecule and Ethidium Bromide as the ligand. I'm looking to make the entire DNA molecule flexible in order to perform blind docking. However, I am getting this error every single time I try to do so and am confused what is going on. Can someone help me figure out how to make the DNA flexible?

Looking at the code provided related to your error message, it seems that there are no residues left detected which have no action torsion left. Therefore, I assume it could not processed what you want to do for now.

How to prepare 0.5 U chitinase enzyme from 5 U pack size (lyophilized) given the concentration or enzyme activity ≥200 units/g solid?

The calculation i tried, Since 200 U is present in 1g that is, 200U IN 1000mg Hence 5 U will contain 25 mg. And for 0.5 U we'll need to take 2.5mg. But i am confused as to in what volume this...

Why doesn't chromium 2+ ion use all its d-orbitals to receive lone pairs from six waters in [Cr(H20)6)]3+?

I'm guessing it's because the ligand experiences too much electron repulsion or proton repulsion from the chromium to insert them close to the 3d-orbitals which are close to the metal nucleus. Is...
