Hi,
First of all thank you so much for making such a wonderful tool and sharing it freely with scientific community.
I have been using chimera for sometime now and performed docking analysis using autodock vina.
I recently come across a problem.
After exporting pdb file with desired docking pose, I tried to run protein ligand interaction analysis on PLIP server. But ligand in my file does not get recognised for analysis.
I opened pdb file in a text editor and upon looking care fully I see chimera saves receptor and ligand as separate model like this
ATOM 7453 HD2 PRO A 462 15.986 11.983 20.450 1.00 0.00 H
ATOM 7454 HD3 PRO A 462 16.532 10.334 20.885 1.00 0.00 H
ENDMDL
MODEL 2
HETATM 1 S1 CGT A 1 9.051 5.106 43.099 1.00 0.00 S
HETATM 2 C6 CGT A 1 8.150 3.680 42.370 1.00 0.00 C
After comparing it with the pdb file from pbd database I removed “ENDMDL” and “MODEL 2” and re-ran the PLIP analysis. This time it works but PLIP also mentions that –
Analysis went well but the .pse file that I get from PLIP server does not allow me to show ligand in stick format in Pymol software.
I suspect this is due to the original pdb file format. I also noticed that pdb file when opened in pymol shows ligand and receptor as different states which is not correct (if I am right).
I have attached both original pdb file that I saved from Chimera-autodock vina and pse file from PLIP analysis.
May I request to help me resolve this issue?
Please let me know if you need any further information or clarification.
Thanks for your time and support
