What is the best place to do molecular docking?

27 September 2013 1 7K Report

My protein of interest has a carbohydrate-binding module, how should I check (in silico) if it interacts with plant polysaccharides? Basically, I have to try out some molecular docking, how do I go about doing it?

Hiqmet Kamberaj

You could go for using Glide under Maestro (a Schroedinger released software), or alternatively you could use Autodock (http://chemistry.umeche.maine.edu/Modeling/AutoDock-tutorial.pdf), which you may find it for free. I also included a link to download a tutorial of how to do docking using Autodock.

I hope this will help you.
