I have 6 derivatives that I synthesized myself, can I load chemdraw.cdx file in chimera to prepare it for docking and finally safe it in Mol2 format??? What format I can take of my ligand to load in Chimera??

Hello Maria Taj Muhammad, The address for questions about using Chimera is chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu (CC’d here). Chimera does not read chemdraw.cdx files, sorry. Here is a list of the atomic-structure formats that Chimera can read: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/filetypes.html#molstruct> You would probably want to use PDB, Mol2, or (MOL) SDF for your ligands, to read them in to Chimera. Then you can use the Dock Prep tool (in menu under Tools… Structure Editing) to add hydrogens and charges and save as Mol2. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/dockprep/dockprep.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Computer Graphics Lab (Chimera team) and Babbitt Lab Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Thank you Sir Actually I intend to work on AutoDock and since it need a pdb file format I wanted Chimera (but since you are saying I need pdb to load ligand file in Chimera I will probably need some other tool. Can I still get the chance to analyse my Docked results on Chimera software. Thanks for your guidance Regards On Tue, May 23, 2017 at 2:11 AM, Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote:

Yes, many people use Chimera to analyse results from AutoDock. You would use the “ViewDock” tool (in menu under Tools… Surface/Binding Analysis). AutoDock pdbqt file is one of the input formats. ViewDock tool: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/viewdock/framevd.html> See also the ViewDock tutorial: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/tutorials/vdtut.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.
