With which formula can the metabolic energy value of silage be calculated (for chickens, especially geese). Which is the current or most valid method?

silage is forage and poultry has little benefit from it. Geese can digest roughage a little more than other poultry. Each roughage has a different degree of digestion. Therefore, the metabolizable...

Why don't d-orbitals split themselves, why does it take a ligand? why don't protons from ligand repel nucleus split d-orbitals?

why don't d-orbitals split themselves because of themselves without the presence of ligands? Electrons are indistinguishable. Why wouldn't it be more correct that protons from a ligand split the...

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...

Rushali Haridas Dudure

Yes, you have the x-ray crystal structure of protein for docking .

Muni Sireesha Sunkara

Download it from PDB .

Asadollah Asadi

Yes. Also it is recommended to include solution state and determine charge of ionizable functional groups of residues and ligand.

Mohammed Shamil

draw the ligand by ChemDraw and protein from PDB

Mohammad Taghizadeh

For receptors, crystal structures are in a higher position but if there wasn't a crystal structure a good structural model could be the next option. For ligands, the PubChem ligands could be good choices.
